So I'm wondering, are the countless Scent Elimination Products available on the market today worth a damn during rifle season? I can see using them (if they work) during archery season when you're mere yards away, but is it really necessary when hunting with a rifle?

Then, say I buy a sent eliminating spray. After I wash my clothes (everything I plan on wearing during the trip) with the scent killing detergent, when do I apply the spray? Before I go out in the field? Before I pack everything in my bag? As I'm out in the field? When?!?

I've never used any of these products other than the laundry soap and I'm curious to see others opinions. Do they really work or would I just be throwing my $ away? If they do work, is there one product that's better than the others or is there a product that I MUST have?

I've been looking at the Dead Down Wind products and the Scent Killer products. I'm looking for any input to help me tackle this!
