What is a nearly odor free lubricant?

I have been using Break Free CLP on my hunting revolvers. I strongly suspect most animals give me a wide berth because they detect the pungent aroma of Break Free. What comparably effective lubricant is nearly odor free?

If they smell your gun oil, likely they can also smell you. I wouldn`t sweat it too much.

Graphite and molybdenum disulfide have no smell but are a bit messy.I use Mobil DTE which has very little smell. Mobil # 1 works well with little smell...But Ol'Joe will smell pretty bad if he smokes, uses after shave,'body scent', soaps with perfume, smell from the woodstove , and those women he's been with !!

Thanks for the information. I'm primarily a bow hunter. My body odors are as under control as can occur. My arthritis is getting the whip hand, so I'm going to create an optional hunting season. If I have no problem smelling lubricants, it must be equivalent to Bhopal's cyanide smell for elk and deer.
