Scent control refers to techniques and products used to minimize human odors that can alert animals, particularly in hunting and wildlife observation. This is important for hunters and wildlife enthusiasts who want to avoid detection by their target animals, such as deer or other game. Methods of scent control include using specialized clothing made from materials that reduce scent, applying scent-eliminating sprays, and practicing good hygiene. Additionally, hunters may use natural cover scents, like earth or pine, to mask their presence in the environment, enhancing their chances of a successful outing.
