Do big bucks make you sweat? There is a solution.

Be scent free for under 50-cents a day.

 

The Final Detail
            By Lisa Price

My years as a reporter taught me that one thing guaranteed to bring out the best and worst in people is the stage of small-town politics. As I sat in a climbing stand that afternoon - calculating the last possible time I could leave, change clothes in the headlight-blocking security of the cornfield and drive to the assignment – I was already dreading an evening spent dutifully writing down statements made by my hometown’s slate of Democratic candidates.

Once I was back on the ground, and a couple rows deep in the cornstalks, I made the switches from socks and boots to nylons and pumps, camouflage clothes to wrap skirt and sweater. I transferred my hunting clothes into a snap-lock container and slipped into my truck with just enough time to make it to the rally.

At the rally, a would-be city councilman approached me with a big smile and I winced inwardly. Here they come; I was thinking, the carefully quotable statements about the importance of youth recreation, a best way to lower real estate taxes and a city-wide beautification initiative.

“Excuse me,” the candidate said quietly, “but there’s a big strip of cornstalk stuck on your shoe.”

My near obsessive attention to scent control had struck again.

All the serious hunters I know have the same routines I do. I washed my hunting clothes in ATSKO’s Sport-Wash. Everything I couldn’t put in the washing machine, including the containers where I stored hunting clothes, was sprayed with their scent  killing products.

I even washed my towels in the Sport-Wash, so I wouldn’t be drying off with anything washed in scented detergent. I washed my body and hair in scent-free soaps, even though within a few days my hair would look as if I’d been rubbing it with balloons. When I entered the woods, to hunt or scout, I wore gloves or held up my hands like a just-scrubbed-in surgeon parting swinging doors.

But just like the case where I let a piece of cornstalk ruin a decent outfit, I’d been overlooking an important detail in my hunting preparations. There was a huge glitch in my war against shedding scent. But, it was easy and cheap to fix.

What if somebody told you that you could virtually eliminate odors given off by your body, including your breath, for less than 50 cents a day?
Think about it. What’s the first thing that happens when you get a glimpse of a buck, a shooter buck or the bear finally makes his way to the bait? Your breath rate increases. If you’re like me, you may think you hear the ocean. Next, as your breath and heart rates kick up in excitement, your palms will sweat.

A small pill, one taken in the morning and one in the evening, can mean that your body odors, like sweat and breath, are neutralized. The stuff is called Nullo, and the medical community has been using the FDA-approved product for 50 years.

Here’s a layman’s explanation of how it works. Your body is constantly creating odor-producing bacteria. Nullo causes a change in the metabolism of those bacteria, which neutralizes the gas (odors) of the bacteria. That means that the odors of normal body waste, such as sweat and breath, are dramatically reduced.

The “prescription” is simple, start taking Nullo seven to ten days before you start hunting, and continue taking it for the duration of the hunt. You have to keep taking it during the hunt because it leaves your system so quickly. A Chlorophyllin copper complex product, Nullo is water soluble and flushes out within 24 hours after your last pill.

Nullo is manufactured by the Monticello Drug Company, Jacksonville, Florida (800-735-0666) and may also be ordered through the website, www.Nullo.com. A bottle of 60, or 30 days worth (depending on weight and diet, some people may need to take three pills, two in the morning and one in the evening) costs $13.95. A bottle with 135 pills costs $26.95.

You don’t want to get busted because a bull elk you’ve stalked made you sweat, or a big buck that’s approached made you breathe harder. Don’t stop any of your regular hunting preparations, but take care of that last detail you’ve been overlooking…it’s the final detail of success.
