What scent killer  do you boys use? I know most say turkeys don't smell scent.....but most don't hunt Indiana turkeys. I have been winded by birds multiple times if I haven't sprayed down. I used scent killer last year.

I bathe in vinegar.  The turkeys tend to flog me.  For some reason they like the smell of vinegar.  Best kept secret in turkey hunting. :icon_thumright:

I don't believe turkeys can smell like deer, but I bathe in HS scent green soap year round to keep down on a perfumey smell to help with mosquitos,bees,wasps,and other insects. It also helps to keep unseen deer from winding me.

I usually go out, at least on road trips, smelling heavily of Jack Daniel, stale beer, chew and cigar smoke.

Turkeys seem to like it.

You're being seen, not smelled. If turkeys could smell you, they'd be nearly impossible to kill.

Lest we forget stumbling and falling into a fresh cow pattie as we make our way across the pasture in the dark.

That would be my guess also. I almost always spray myself down pretty good with bug spray and have had birds within 10 feet down wind of me on a couple of occassions without spooking. They did spook alittle after they got to where they could actually see me, but it wasn't from smelling me. 

For deer hunting I use Wildlife Research Scentkiller....the one that says 99% on the bottle.

Repel Sportsman's insect repellent seems to work fine for me!
