Bear smell!

[Mechanicsburg]

Simple question but I can’t find the answer. Killed my first bear this year and got fat and blood in some of my clothes . WOW is there anyway to get the smell out of them or is it there for life!
Thanks

Go to the diy car wash and use the degreaser and let them soak it in......or live with it as your new scent cover up!

my go to for those situations is soap. dawn works great if you want to spot wash or dont be afraid to use the washing machine with some unscented tide.

I got bear blood and fat on my stuff before and I've had no issues... but, most of the hunting I do is in the mountains where they can't get into garbage or rotting salmon so maybe the bear you shot had been visiting the local dump?

Clorox in bucket (don’t over do Clorox) and let soak

Tide detergent and white distilled Vinger.
Soak and then wash

Yes he was 2 weeks out of hibernation and eating garbage basically

You need to get that bacterial matter out of your clothes and Dawn is awesome for that. After the clothes have been soaked and rinsed, consider using an ozone generator with your clothes hanging in the closed canopy of a pickup for 8 hours. Careful with inhaling the ozone - it is toxic to living creatures including humans, animals and plants. The clothes will have a solvent smell after ozone treatment, but that can be cured by hanging your clothes outside for a few days.

Helps not to roll around in them.

I've never experienced what you're talking about after hunting bear. Good luck getting rid of the odor.

Dawn. Oxyclean. Simple Green. Soak and wash. If that doesn't do it with a couple of reps. then I would go with the Ozone suggestion.

One of my dogs took a direct shot from a skunk. I used the dawn, peroxide, and baking soda method. Removed it out of her fur after two baths. Had to use it on myself too.

Peroxide may bleach your clothes so spot check first or substitute for something else.

Good luck
