I hunted with Shed33 for the first time last year. I went out first on a Merriams turkey hunt, (yea nothing to do with scent control) But I will tell you this, Shed has all of the proof I needed hanging on his wall and pictures that he had shown me while I was there. The man KNOWS white tails. I learned more in listening to him in five days than I have reading about them. I then returned in Sept for a first time ever Bow Elk hunt. Shed gave me a scent lock suit as a gift when I arrived. He taught me the right way to control scent. I listened to him intently. I followed it to a T. On the first evening of my hunt I had an Elk bull at 12.5 yards. And the wind was blowing directly at him. Yes I was wearing the scent lock suit he gave me. On the third day of my hunt I had a 6x6 bull at 18 yards (no shot, too thick) and the wind again was blowing towards him because he came in above me instead of straight across the mountain. We also had white tails, mule deer and even a bear in close and personal. I saw more animals and they were closer than I had before. I then brought that knowledge home and had more deer under my stand than I ever had. I tried hunting with out the scent lock suit and with it. there was sa difference, I could see the animals get nervous down wind with out the scent lock. I know not all people can be changed in their thinking, but if you aren't willing to test it for your self then no matter what any of say it won't matter. Heck my opinion is the more people that don't use just means that more bucks will get older and allow me more oppurtunites to harvest them by using all of the advantages of scent control. It was my first year of using the scent control system that Shed taught me and I am sold on it. Once in awhile somebody really does know how things work and have learned from lots of experience and FIELD TESTING so maybe once in awhile we shouldn't be so HARD HEADEDand maybe listen.
