Eberhart washes his ropes in scent free detergent, I suppose you can do that with your saddle tooso you don't suggest ever subjecting saddles, ropes, or webbing to it?

I do not ever use ozone on my hunting gear, and I was responding to the the original post for car use only. Most of us on here are not qualified to say it is safe to use on life safety gear, so I don't know about that part.so you don't suggest ever subjecting saddles, ropes, or webbing to it?

Not to derail, but I started using my favorite smelling detergent, Tide, on my hunting clothes last fall, and I saw and took just as many deer as usual, simply because I hunt the wind. I hate Alabama football so I reluctantly say "Roll Tide" for a different reason!
What soap and laundry detergent did the Native Americans and Lewis and Clark expiation use?i'd like to see a controlled study where they put a soap fragrance next to a deer attractant (corn, etc) and then have the same attractant without the fragrance
i'm guessing if it doesn't smell like a predator (human or otherwise) then they don't care much
deer are smart but i don't think they are smart enough or have enough interactions to figure out that fake smelling flowers mean humans, rather i'm guessing they think 'human body odor means humans'
the woods have all sorts of smells in them and i don't think deer react to things strongly simply because they are unfamiliar to them or they wouldn't leave the little acre they were born on
my suspicion is half the stuff in hunting magazines is to create problems just to sell us the solution to it

Oh, that’s a good tip. Never thought of that. Toyota wanted to charge me $95 for a $10 cabin air filter and to spray some freshener in the vents of my son’s 2005 4Runner. Lol.Run the car fan on recirculating mode for a few mins to clean the insides of the ducts to really get all possible odor sources.

That’s what I do! A seal tight tote with some activated charcoal filters thrown in. It absorbs odor, moisture and they are cheap ($7 for a 4 pack at your local aquarium shop). Doesn’t hurt the saddle, makes it where I only have to wash my saddle once maybe twice a season in Florida where you sweat your butt off all season. If you want cover scent, throw in a small fresh cut piece of your favorite local tree. A small cut of pine or cedar, and the worst case scenario is I pull my saddle out with a hint of fresh woods smell on itI keep a few of the odor removal charcoal bags inside my hunting totes with my clothes and saddle gear. Just toss my saddle back in the tote each night. I recharge the charcoal bags by putting them inside a separate tote and hitting them with the ozone machine prior to season.
Gonna skip the piece of a local tree thing and go corn chops. Half a bag in the bottom of the tote and then throw in my clothes, saddle and ropes then top off with the rest of the chops. Just make sure you shake your pockets out well if hunting public. Would work with rice bran or protein pellets too I reckon.That’s what I do!
