pine straw and dry leaves put in a bee smoker. Smoke your clothes and boots good.

Cedar and green pine straw in a sealed container work well also.

Gone But Not Forgotten
Hunting the wind works best but I like green pine needles put in a plastic bag overnight with my clothes. Never tried hobbs method.

Skunk scent for bear with anise attractant or sardines.
Fresh earth scent for hogs as well as hog mash with strawberry jello for attractant. Pine or fresh oak for deer and peanut butter for attractant.

After over 30 years of deer hunting, I can say with confidence that nothing will cover your scent. Deer can differentiate individual odors from among a mixture of scents. If a deer is downwind of you, it will smell you, regardless of what cover scent you use. Tests with dogs have proven it, and a deer has a better nose than a dog.

Skunk Odor is the very best. Don't get it on your hands, boots, or clothing. Apply a very small amount to a wash cloth and put the wash cloth in a zip lock bag. When you get to your stand-remove the cloth from the bag and attach the wash cloth to the outside platform of your stand or shooting house (a clothes pin works fine) and you are covered ! When you are done hunting-return the wash cloth to the zip lock bag and you are ready for the next hunt...or...if you will be returning to this shooting house leave it in place. Odor lasts a long time !
And the deer, instead of smelling just human, will smell human and skunk. He will act the same as he did when he smelled you without the skunk.

Tie a sweaty shirt to your stand every few months. Get them use to smelling U.
I also throw down by beer cans there so they smell it , that way when I hunt and drink beer the smell won't spook them.
It's so easy even a redneck could do it.

I have tried it, long ago. I didn't see or kill any more deer. I just smelled like a polecat, and my love life got considerably less fun for a while.

The best cover scent for bear is skunk scent and a bear has amuch better nose than a deer. Just the facts!
