I do want to suggest that if anyone doesn't want to use scent lok clothing they don't have to.If you don't want it,if you think it's a hoax don't buy it.
Who has said anything differently?? Perhaps if some people were better educated on the science instead of focusing on the commercials and pages of ads in magazines they would realize that they may not be getting what they are being promised. This would force the big companies to either back up their claims with facts and produce a quality product that does what they say or lose out in the hunting market.
Why do you think after they kill a big buck on TV they thank every sponsor they can remember??.........Do you REALLY think all those products put that deer on the ground?? Of course not.............but many people do. Advertising is not geared to catch EVERYONE.......but if you can get 5% of the people that see your BS to believe it and buy it then all you have to do is reach millions of people and you are gonna have a river of money flowing in.
Didn't you ever see that blonde brush cut diet whacko who preached "Stop the insanity" on infomercials at night?? She was pushing pure BS.........but she pushed it to a desperate target audience and reached millions of people all over the country. Most people thought she was full of it.............well she is laughing all the way to the bank with over 50 million as her share of the hundreds of millions they took in. Not so funny now is it?
All you have to do to sell something is get people to believe..........and some people are easier to take the bait then others.
John Edwards made countless millions by telling people he could talk with the dead. He was on every TV channel about 10 times a day...............see him lately?? Of course not..........he is sitting on a beach somewhere counting his money.
They made millions upon millions of dollars because the people they targeted didn't require any proof that what they were buying was real.............and not just a BS gimmick.............you can only fool people for so long before getting exposed and that is why they have all disappeared now.
Every company out there that is known for producing high quality goods has no problem putting their stuff to the test..........Do you think Summit hasn't tested their cables and stands to be sure they meet ALL the claims they make?? I bet a Bowtech's birth certificate is pretty accurate..........Why?? Because their products are high quality and require no smoke and mirrors or faith to believe they work.............and they can prove it.
If scent suits did what they say they do then they would have done tests and studies to prove it by now............but why should they??.......people just take their word for it. If it ain't broke don't fix it.
There are things that I do while I am hunting that I can not substantiate with scientific trials or testing,but I would defy anyone to tell me they don't work.I have personally witnessed the results of their use versus their non use.Thats enough for me!
Big difference..........you are not marketing your beliefs to millions of people and taking millions of dollars of their money in return........when that is the case you are held to a higher standard because what you are doing is effecting millions of others..........and not just you.
When there is a person who has demonstrated they obviously know what they are talking about I pay attention,especially when there is no financial incentive for them to promote a particular product.
That is EXACTLY what those guys who shoot bucks on TV count on when they rattle off sponsors while holding a deers head up

If it didn't work they wouldn't do it. Now on to people with no financial incentive...........if they told you that wearing your underwear backwards will help you kill a big buck would you believe it?? Because as of right now there exists about as much factual proof of that working as there does that scent suits will.
Between my own scouting and hunting(50 to 60 days a season)and the countless books on everything whitetail I have read,I can separate the wheat from the chaffe!
What did your books tell you about carbon suits??.........you may want to add a few chemistry books to that stack before answering that
Most people of a certain level of success are so self assured they don't care much what someone else thinks as it relates to their methods.Only courtesy and decency keeps them involved in this type of conversation.
Don't believe in it don't buy it!!
I don't.
