Hunters Specialties SAW-07747 Scent-A-Way Max Fresh Fresh Earth Scent 32oz Spray Bottle Review

The Hunters Specialties SAW-07747 Scent-A-Way Max Fresh Fresh Earth Scent 32oz Spray Bottle Made a Bold First Impression

Scent control is paramount in hunting, and after years of experimenting with various sprays, wipes, and even elaborate scent-locking suits, I’ve learned that a reliable scent eliminator can make or break a hunt. The Hunters Specialties SAW-07747 Scent-A-Way Max Fresh Fresh Earth Scent 32oz Spray Bottle enters the arena with claims of bio-engineered technology that attacks odor-causing bacteria faster, stronger, and longer. This piqued my interest, because if true, it could offer a significant edge in the field.

For years, I struggled with finding a scent eliminator that truly masked human odor without introducing an artificial, game-spooking fragrance. The quest led me to try everything from activated carbon clothing to homemade baking soda solutions, often with mixed results. The Scent-A-Way Max Fresh promised a fresh earth scent, aiming for natural camouflage rather than blatant cover-up.

Upon receiving the Hunters Specialties spray, the first thing I noticed was the robust 32oz spray bottle. It felt solid and well-made. The scent, even before spraying, had a distinct, natural earthiness – not overpowering, but certainly present. Compared to some other scent eliminators I’ve used, which often smell like industrial chemicals or artificial pine, this was a welcome change. I chose this over other products boasting similar features because of Hunters Specialties’s long-standing reputation in the hunting community, and the promise of bio-engineered technology specifically targeting odor-causing bacteria.

My initial impression was one of cautious optimism. The scent was promising, the bottle felt durable, and the claim of advanced odor-fighting technology was intriguing. Could this be the scent eliminator I’ve been searching for? Time in the field would tell.

Real-World Testing: Putting Hunters Specialties SAW-07747 Scent-A-Way Max Fresh Fresh Earth Scent 32oz Spray Bottle to the Test

First Use Experience

My first test of the Hunters Specialties SAW-07747 Scent-A-Way Max Fresh Fresh Earth Scent 32oz Spray Bottle came during an early-season archery hunt for whitetail deer in the dense forests of northern Wisconsin. The weather was damp and cool, ideal conditions for scent dispersal. I liberally sprayed down my hunting clothing, boots, and even my hunting pack before heading into my stand.

The spray was easy to apply, distributing a fine mist that quickly covered surfaces. I appreciated that it didn’t leave a sticky residue. More importantly, the Fresh Earth Scent wasn’t alarming, even up close. After settling into my stand, I monitored the wind, expecting to detect the slightest hint of human odor drifting towards potential deer trails. Nothing. The wind carried only the scent of damp earth, decaying leaves, and the faint, natural aroma of the spray.

Within a few hours, a doe and her fawn cautiously approached my stand, browsing within 20 yards. They showed no signs of alarm, their noses twitching, seemingly picking up only natural forest scents. This initial encounter was a promising sign. However, a single successful hunt does not make a product, so I kept using Scent-A-Way on subsequent outings.

Extended Use & Reliability

After several weeks of use, the Hunters Specialties SAW-07747 Scent-A-Way Max Fresh Fresh Earth Scent 32oz Spray Bottle has proven to be a reliable and effective scent eliminator. The spray continues to mask human odor effectively, even after multiple applications and exposure to varying weather conditions. I’ve used it in everything from cool, damp mornings to warmer, slightly humid afternoons, and it has consistently performed well.

Durability hasn’t been an issue. The bottle remains intact, and the sprayer functions flawlessly. There has been no clogging or leaking, even after being jostled around in my hunting pack. The Scent-A-Way is easy to maintain; no special cleaning or storage is required.

Compared to previous scent eliminators I’ve used, this product stands out for its long-lasting effectiveness and natural scent. Some products initially mask odor well but quickly fade, requiring frequent reapplication. Others have an overpowering, artificial scent that seems more likely to spook game than attract it. The Scent-A-Way strikes a good balance, providing long-lasting odor control with a scent that blends seamlessly into the environment.

One of the strengths of this product is its long-lasting effectiveness.
