I harvest deer every year with a bow. I usually get shots within 15 yards. Down wind or up wind, scent elimination is a key factor. I use the body soap and laundry soap. I get dressed in the field not before I drive out there. I use the spray on everything as I leave the truck.

Footwear and breath are the biggest mistakes. Don't wear your boots in the truck or anywhere else. Keep them for hunting. If your breath stinks, you stink.

I usually put a little vanilla around my hunting area every fall. Once or twice a week around my stand area, I sprinkle a little vanilla extract on some leaves.
When I am bowhunting in that area, I rinse a little vanilla extract in my mouth and I blend in.

Like my buddy says, when all else fails, chew on some pine tar.
Please don't follow those directions! Just a joke.

Breath is the tough part because you gotta breathe and it is warm and moist and full of odor. There are some nice scentblocker head covers that have the charcoal mouth cover. Vanilla a couple times a week around the stand and then a little in the mouth when you hunt and you will be surprised.
