If this has already been discussed, please point me in that direction. All I could find was related to whitetails.
Being from Iowa, I’ve spent lots of time chasing whitetails and scent control is a huge part of the game. I keep my clothes in a scent free tote, hang them up outside during the season, take scent free showers before the hunt, avoid eating in the stand, etc.
I’m going on my first backcountry bear hunt in a few weeks and I just can’t figure out how I’m going to tackle the scent issue. Obviously I’ll have to eat and build fires and I won’t be able to shower while I’m out. Nor do I have the room in my pack for fresh clothes everyday. How do you guys tackle it? Do you just play the wind and disregard scent control? What about leaving your scent in the field?
