Where do odors come from?

Identifying the three sources of odor will help you fight odor in the field. Managing your scent is one of the most important factors to successful deer hunting. ScentLok is a leader in the outdoors industry for helping hunters fight scent. Complete odor management starts with understanding where odors come from. Bacterial odor comes off your skin, usually in the places that get the hottest. Metabolic odors come from the food you eat that will come out of your pores. Ambient odor is picked up from scents in the air that will attach themselves to you. Fight these odors and become a better deer hunter.

How can we combat odors?

Managing your scent is one of the most important factors to successful deer hunting. ScentLok is a leader in the outdoors industry for helping hunters fight scent. Combatting odors includes preventative, containment, sorption, destruction and masking. Antimicrobials like silver prohibit the growth of microorganisms. Carbon absorbs odor molecules. Trapping odors keeps them confined and prevents them from being noticed. Ozone based technologies destroy odor by breaking it apart. Masking is using cover scent sprays that most hunters use in the field. These 5 components are the best way to combat odors. ScentLok has a solution for combating the odors that could make or break your deer hunt.
