Can I store my husband's deer hunting clothing in a cedar chest in my bedroom? I think it would be ok but I thought I should check. I don't want to be the reason that the "big one" stayed "just out of range"

As Dallas said, it is nice to hear from someone so considerate of their spouse. My 44 years of experience there has demonstrated that marriage is even more important than hunting and thoughtfulness like this goes a long way to preserve that wonderful relationship!
His hunting clothes will be fine in a cedar chest. Especially if cedar trees are native to your locale. If he rifle hunts it won't make much difference because typical shots are outside of the deer's scent range. However if he archery hunts, scent control is paramount because we need to get the deer REAL up close and personal.
Regardless of where archery clothes are kept during the year, I always fluff them in the dryer before season and then store them for a few days in a garbage bag filled with pine boughs to erase human odor, especially human smells from inside the house. I only take them out of the bag and put them on at the hunting location if possible. Once season starts, I store them outside in that bag and never take them back in the house until season is over. I've always believed that the smell of cooking bacon, popcorn, etc. are retained in every article of clothing in the house and deer smell that from 80 yards downwind.
