Horns make thin soup.
Never read anything about baking soda before but have used similar procedures for 30 years. I was a still hunter in the Northern California Cascade mountains for blacktail deer. These are spooky brush loving little devils. There weren't many people up there and I could hunt a week without seeing anybody. The wind shifted with the time of day and terrain and I was always aware of it's direction. That said I did everything I could to eliminate as much scent as possible. From baking soda in my cloths, scent free soaps, deodorants and scent free spray antiperspireants on my feet. There were a lot of bay trees in the area so I made a bay tea and used it in a spray bottle.
Was I scent free, No. But I eliminated as much scent as I could and covered what I could. I've had deer bed down around me and most of my deer were shot a 25 yards. Scent control or reduction, not elimination, is a key piece of my hunting puzzle. It works when properly used with the other parts.
