Guys, I'm a little confused.
All of my hunting clothing is pretty much covered in grit/grime/mud and in need of a washing.
However, with all the talk that I hear about deer's senses and the brightners in most laundry detergents, I'm a little wary.
How should one washing his or her hunting clothing?
Should I spend $30 on some fancy-shmancy carbon killer hunter-specific laundry detergent that kills the smell before it even begins?
I was thinking about just washing the clothing in the washing machine with cold water (no soap), then letting it dry on the clothesline outside, and then holding it over an open fire outside so that the smoke would give it a cover scent. I could then store it in a garbage back so that all the human scent molecules wouldn't impermeate it.
Would that work?
