Use an unscented glycerin soap as opposed to a standard bar soap when showering. You will not get soap scum left behind on your skin which leaves scent.
There are soaps, detergents and dryer sheets which will help with this. If you live in a hunting area, wal-mart will probably have them. Otherwise, check out the Cabela’s or Bass Pro website. I can’t remember product names off hand, but they’re out there.
You’ll also want to be sure your detergent doesn’t leave your clothes glowing with UV. That means no Tide, even unscented, and probably a bunch of other detergents too.
Deer excrement! Don’t get afraid of it, really dig in and spread it out.
markky isn’t far off. You can buy deer urine scent in a bottle with a wick. Open it up and the theory goes that it attracts bucks.
Also try wearing clothes that wick moisture like your sweat away from your body. And clothes that are breathable so you don’t sweat as much in the first place.
