I would like some tips on natural scent masking, (not just buying those sprays). I heard something about boiling craked acorns or something???????

Know anything about the differences between gortex and neoprene vs wool and other natural materials when dealing with scents? I'm trying to accrue as much knowledge as possible for a tactical hunt this year. (I need sucess once in a while beathead

Check this site out....

I haven't hunted big game to much but I'm sure you can find your answers if you poke around in here for awile.

I would go to the archery sections as they have to weigh in the factors of scent a little more than the modern hunters.

hope this helps.

The best way is to start taking Chlorophyll Tablets. You can also wash daily with scent free soap.
I archery hunt and here is what I do.

I never wear my hunting clothes in or near a vehicle or near camp. I keep them in a plastic bag filled with leaves and pine/cedar bows etc. A couple of hundred yards from camp. I change when leave to hunt. I do not have fires in camp and I shower every evening. You can use a 5 gallon bucket with a shower head mounted on it. Heat water on the stove if you are camping.
I have had Mountain goat walk withing a few feet of me and not know I was there.
