I don't know how to post various quotes in one reply, so bear with me. He posted all of his successes and listed one thing he used. Which, happens to be the one we are talking about. I think he would be the first to tell you it is part of a system. It's like a car engine.You can have all of the internal parts, all of the external parts, but without a battery it won't start. The battery is part of the system. No, I wouldn't find it funny if a list of big deer killed was used as a reason why "product X" works so well. If it had a negative impact, I would doubt he would have the list of deer to show us.
Sigh.............you still don't get what I am saying after all the back and forth. Scent suits aren't gonna hurt you (unless you disreguard scent totally because you think the suit has magic powers).......they just don't work as promised. I never said scent suits would keep you from killing deer..........simply that they are not gonna help you do it either.
Personally, you know I believe it works, and NO, I don't have official scientific documents to show you to back it up.
That has been my whole point all along.......I NEED those scientific questions answered before I can believe in those products. If they answer them then I would have a different opinion of them.........but as of right now all I ever hear when I ask how or why they work is........."Because I said so"........or I get a story about a guy killing a deer who was downwind..........nice story but it doesn't help me either way.
But, I don't think it is the only reason I kill deer. I killed deer without it as well, but my deer sightings and the proximity I am to them has improved greatly. I attribute that to the suit, if that's not good enough evidence for you, I'm sorry.
No problem.........I hope the suit works so well for you that you have 10 deer a day trying to get inside it with you. I just can't even consider buying something like that until I get some answers to the factual questions I have about the performance of them.
Bowhunters killed a great many deer before the intoduction of the compound bow too. Hey, even before commercially available broadheads as well. I guess the point is, if you really want to get down to the brass tax of it, all we NEED is a stick and string with a rock on the end of it. I don't choose to do it that way. I choose to use every available advantage at my disposal, just as the early pioneers did. Theirs weren't as "technologically advanced" but I assure you they used every advantage they could find.
Hey man..........I carry more techno garbage in the woods with me then anybody
I have nothing against technology............and some day if I get answers to all my questions about scent suits I may have no problem with them. I can't use a product based on faith alone. I want to know what something is gonna do when it comes time to use it.........I don't like guessing or leaving things to chance.
I agree, the cough silencer is useless. See, we're not so different after all.
I'm sure we aren't
I heard a guy cough into one of those things one time and it sounded like a Kazoo [
