keeping hunting clothes in the cabin

[rpm4463]

I'm leaving for an elk hunt in couple weeks. Our cabin/tent will be shared with other hunters so there will be probably be various odors. What is the best way to keep sent off of my hunting clothes when I get back to camp? I was planning on changing into jeans/sweater at camp and stuffing my hunting clothes in a trash bag. Maybe put the bag in my truck each night.

I can't say I have ever really payed attention to scent on my clothes while elk hunting.....I imagine your plan would work just fine though.

Just take along a rubbermaid tote and throw them in there.

I have a giant ziplock that works well for this while deer hunting.

I just stand downwind of the campfire while enjoying my evening snort of whiskey

I'm not convinced scent control does much for you on an elk hunt, but I haven't experimented with it much.

I do know two things:

1) You're gonna sweat on 99% of elk hunts within the first 30 minutes.

2) Elk can wind you from 1/2 mile away.


IMO, its futile to worry a bunch about it.
