Supposed to dry scentless. Any deer hunters using this? Do the deer pick it up, even with scent killer spray before hunting?

Lots of deer hunters use this including me with no problem. It also remains on clothes through several washes.

First year I used it and don't go without it on. Had deer follow me out of stand after dark several times trying to figure out what I was. They got within 20yds and never snorted. In stand only time I got made was because of movement

Try the obvious, I just the tip sprayer and also squeeze the handle as hard as possible . Also, I found that to light coats seem to provide the best coverage. It will smell for about 24 hours but it will dry with no smell at all.

I have an original one of these, 100% wool and I put it in the washer constantly on gentle cycle, cool water! hang to dry. I got rid of the "oily" smell in one wash. I wash ALL my woolens, even my cashmere, in an appropriate soap for woolens. They come out beautifully! Dry cleaner fluid damages wool. Wool is from sheep, they stand out all day in the rain...the only thing you should not do with wool is heat or high agitation, which will felt the wool. BTW, my seller told me there was no order as well, they must not have a nose on their faces, the odor is overwhelming right out of the box!

The HECS does not assit in scent elimination, which is why I recommend using the Dead down wind in conjunction with the suit. The suit, when worn properly conceals your electro-magnetic impulses which animals can detect. I have been just feet away from bull Elk and Moose that didn't even appear nervous and had no idea that I was there. When Bow hunting, that is quite an advantage.

Not sure, but I've just spray it down real good with scent killer inside and out. Seems to do the trick

I have oy used it in wool wall to wall and wool area rugs and it works beautifully, I don't use the pre-spray. Don't know about dry clean only.

Just remove the poly wraps. Then use the enclosed metal rods--you have to straighten them first--to place around the area to be protected or else hang the product. I couldn't smell anything either but the idea is that deer can. As I've noted already, that may be a bad joke.

Zero Odor works very well and is almost odorless. It does have a slight smell, but very faint. You have to walk through the spray to really smell the product. I use Zero Odor over all the other products on the market.

I shoot mine inside and outside and find it quiet but I don't hunt with it either.Check with Grossman or eBay or look it up on utube and see if anybody's done it yet. Good luck.I hope this helped!

I've not head mine for very long. I've used it only twice. But its not bad about things sticking to it. Mostly it just collects leaf fragments that get get caught on your clothes. If its not been drenched in icky,I would just do it like I do my goretex stuff, spot wash and rinse. I mean, your camping right? Plan for a little grime.

I do not have a rabbit problem but it works with deer. It has a mint smell. If rabbits don't like mint they will be repelled.

I personally like the smell of "surplus" as I was in the service. If you use as directed it works well. You can use it straight at full strength but to me that seems overkill since it directs just a little bit (can't recall exact amount printed on bottle) to about gallons of water. That should give you a rough idea how potent this stuff is. A little goes a long way and always let it air dry for best results. I've read it gets rid of skunk spray smell pretty well too! I use it mainly for dog accidents in the house but also on camping equipment to eliminate the "camp fire" smell. I highly recommend it!

I have never used it on my lawn. No reason to as deer have never bothered the lawn one bit. I use it mainly on Hosta, Daylilies and Violets. It works great and does not stink like other products I have used in the 24 years living here where deer are plentiful.

To use as deer-repellant, the company advises against adding water. That is, it works best if applied and kept dried, according to the vendor's website (read all the way to bottom of site to see this info).

Hello. Yes, the Simple Solution Extreme Stain remover has a scent initially, but it fades to nothing as it drys. It is actually one of the better smelling products that I have used (just my opinion). The solution itself works very very well.

I bought a simple half gallon pump sprayer from Home Depot that is dedicated solely to the Deer Stopper and never to be used with any other sprays. I've not had any problem with clogging.
