I am sitting here looking at a giant heap of turkey hunting clothes for the trip and debating whether I am even gonna wash them LOL
I have a pair of Cargo Khakis that are completely bloodstained and they arent getting washed.. But the rest of it Hmmm
For me it would depend on how they smell!!! :TooFunny: :TooFunny: :TooFunny: :TooFunny:
No smell = clean
Bad smell = dirty. Wash immediately!! :you_rock:
hang em outside and let em air out......................good to go! ;D
Where are you going? I say wash it ALL. Nothing like fresh clothes at 4 AM. Or febreeze and then let hang outside.
Better wash it in unscented soap and spray down. You don't want those birds to smell you.
On a serious note, I would wash them. Right after our season closes is when our stuff gets washed, so I don't have to worry about problems like yours once the season rolls around.
I chose no wash.. If I made it through 45 days of our season last year wearing one pair of Cabelas moisture wicking socks I can make it two weeks with clothes that i am unsure if I washed when I put up last year.
You might want to ask your travel partner for some input on this, and then go with her decision! :icon_thumright:
Wheeeeww :TooFunny: :TooFunny:
That's one way to conserve water.
THEY SAY IF A TURKEY COULD SMELL WE MIGHT NEVER KILL ONE??????
WASH THEM YOU NEVER NO WHAT GOT INTO THEM AND NOTHING LIKE FRESH CLOTHES TO START OUT THE MORNING!!!!!!

Its real scary I normally pack the day before, I am extremely ambitious I guess this year..
Scary thing is, I am finding every thing.. Even things I had no clue where there were, are magically appearing. :help:
Dang, 45 days in the same pair of socks? Umm....that's nasty, ha.
My favorite socks are Covert Thread Sands socks and I'm confident they could get the job done and keep down the odor for maybe a week before I ruined my boots, ha.

It was pretty close.. Sometimes in the afternoon I would set up against a tree and blind call.. I would take off my boots and they would attract flies :-\
I can't go with the dirty socks bro! :TooFunny: I have to have a clean pair of socks and underwear EVERY day!!!

I hear ya, I don't like crusty socks and drawers at all. I can get about 2-3 days out of camo, but the undershirt, drawers, and socks gota be changed.
Shootem hunts in yankee land, so maybe there's not much sweating going on? I'd still have to change the drawers, a days worth of turkey hunting snacks can cause some strange odors in that area :D

Heck, you could just turn the one pair inside out after week one.
i wash everything every time i hunt!!!!! We have to many deer here, nothing will ruin your day faster then a couple of does snortting at you at first light on opening day.
No wash! I change my underwear 2 times in turkey season, Once at the beginning and once at the end. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
You guys wear underware?? I'll be darned..
This thread is just wrong. I can't stand dirty clothes and blood brings up suspicion.
I am superstitious about washing my clothes. If I have good luck with a certain set, they don't get washed. I'd hate to wash the luck out of them! :groupwave:
I do have a preseason tradition however, of going to the hometown laundromat and washing everything before the season. I go late at night when it is like a ghost town, and give them all a fresh start while watching Good Times and eating a Subway sandwich :D
