Covering up your scent begins with storage.<\/h2>\n

Hunting season is a short window, for the rest of the time your hunting gear is boxed up in your storage shed or garaged. Keeping them sealed and scent free<\/a> away from harsh fumes like paint, petrol, grease, and other chemicals means\u00a0you will have a fighting chance next season.<\/p>\n
