Abstract
A method of removing human associated scents from articles of hunting clothing prior to wearing such articles during a hunting interval for big game animals includes placing such articles of hunting clothing in close association with a sheet of material impregnated with activated carbon within an air impervious resealable container prior to hunting. The clothing remains in the container overnight, or at least for a time sufficient to permit the human associated scent emanating from the clothing to be adsorbed by the activated carbon impregnated in the sheet of material placed in close association with the clothing. The articles of clothing may then be removed from the container and sheet of material and worn during the next hunting interval significantly diminishing an additional source of human associated scents which may be detected and thus alarm a big game animal. After the hunting interval is completed, the hunting clothing may be again deodorized in the same manner prior to the next time of use.
