turkeyfeathers Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Man they stink when I take them off. wear smartwool socks and don't feel like my feet are sweating but obviously they are. I tuck my pants into them assuming the stink is somewhat contained but..... Ideas/suggestions ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like a cover scent. 4 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adkhunter1590 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Grab a bag of corn and bury your boots down in the bag. Fill them right up with corn. Make sure it’s whole corn as I’d think cracked corn would be a little messier. Corn sucks the odor and moisture right out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I better remember to take the corn out before wearing or I'll get nabbed for baiting 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adkhunter1590 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 I better remember to take the corn out before wearing or I'll get nabbed for baitingHaha very true. But it will do the job and you’ll even have a nice slight corn cover scent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Five Seasons Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 you'd be surprised how well scent killer spray works on stinky gym clothes and shoes. give them a good liberal spray and i bet they're a lot better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Water Rat Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Arm & Hammer baking soda ? Pete Rickards skunk buster ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grampy Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Moisture helps bacteria grow, hence the smell. I have those air dry, boot dryers, and dry my boots as soon as I take them off. That helps. And as the temps cool and get cold, dry boots are much warmer. Also use the carbon inserts from Dr. Sholls too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously Rob. Wash your feet. That's a lot of unnecessary bending over. And hanging your feet in the shed seems like a drastic remedy. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtTime Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 I tried the baking soda, and even the powders that claim to eliminate odors in the past. The powders build up and make more bacteria and stink IMO. Wash those socks in apple cider! Clean out the boots with apple cider! Now you are legal bait because your feet smell like apples but there's really no bait, just a smell! Or just hunt barefoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawdwaz Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 If you play the wind/hunt right, they'll never smell you........and whatever you do to try an eliminate odors, they'll smell THAT instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
