    Default GROUND BLIND SCENT CONTROL !!!????

    Just Curious If You Or if You Know Of Anyone That Uses A CARBON SPRAY on the Insides of their PORTABLE BLINDS that are said to be line to help SCENT CONTROL, I personally have A HUNTERS VIEW WIG WAM BLIND that has the black lining to aid in scent control and I was curious if using a carbon based scent eliminator spray will help with scent control on blinds that are designed to aid in scent control.

    Would think you would not have to use anything for a scent control or containing blind on the blind itself. Just keep your scents on you under the best possible control that you can.

    My hunting buddies and I have been very successful at ground-blind hunting for deer. We get them in close for either shotgun using buckshot or bow.
    The only thing we use is washing our cloths in Baking Soda and making sure we are clean with a scent-free soap. Plus, I always like to spray a few squirts of deer scent on the blind, just to make sure we're covered. Seems to work well on these wary blacktails

    Nope I would not bother with that either.
    Just keep yourself as scent free as possible.
    Leaving the blind set up for a week or so really helps air it out and turns it basically invisable to a deers nose and they get use to it being there and dont pay it any attention afterwards.
    JMO.
    You on the other hand can't be "left outside for a week". LOL

    Just take your Beano and you'll be ok.
    It's not supposed to smell like a double dumper outhouse.
    Scent free and left outside should be enough. Unless you do really need Beano and/or need some kind of arificial butt plug.
    That's it! Butt spray that is scented like apples!
    Honestly, if your body is scent free or as scent free as possible without getting anal, there I go again LOL, and your stand is left outside in the same setting that you will be hunting in there is no need for anything else. It does make a great place to do the number 2 thingy. Just dig a deep hole. Especially deep if you are going to be there for the day. OMG! Did I just say that?

    You're better off both economically and physically if you just use the "natural" items around you such as cedar, juniper, pecan, or oak; if you're in cattle country.... use a fresh MEADOW MUFFIN. Those scents last much longer and are usually more potent. The carbon sprays may help... but as long as you're breathing..... you're giving off a scent.
