●      Get Dressed After Reaching the Destination

Normally, everyone likes to hit the ranch wearing their outfit. However, if you wear your gear, chances are high that your hunter’s outfit will start smelling like you quite immediately. It will soak in other odors, such as the car freshener or fuel pump. Hogs and deer are familiar with these smells! If you don’t want to miss out on harvesting your target, getting dressed after reaching your destination is definitely a better option. While this might take your extra five minutes, this is one of the most crucial tips that come in handy in the long run.

●      Applying Baking Soda on Your Clothes Is a Good Idea

Hunting clothes are prone to getting stinky, sweaty and dirty. Though you need to wash them to feel fresh, refrain from using laundry detergents. Instead, you can use fragrance-free detergent and baking soda as they remove human odors from your cloth. You can sprinkle the baking soda inside the layers, and that’s it. The same goes for your boots- baking soda acts as a miracle when removing human odor is taken into consideration. This is the key to preventing the Texas wild hogs from understanding your presence on the ranch.

●      Mask Your Scent

Don’t apply perfumes, as deer and hogs are aware of such scents. Instead, you can use luring scents that trigger your hunt to come near you as a behavioral response. Put on urine scents or tarsal glands and doe-in-estrus scents. Apart from that, food-based scents excite and intrigue bucks and hogs quite well! Hunting wild boar will become a lot easier given the scent is removed!
