Boy, this is a great post.

For me, I don't put much faith in scent lock suits. I don't believe anything can contain human scent, or any scent for that matter.Now I do believe the technology in the suits works,I don't think anyone is denying that activated carbon will absorb scent.BUT until somebody....anybody can show me once and for all scientific proof that these suits can be "regenerated" in a home dryer,how cananyone be 100% sure?

Those of you who have told stories of your deer kills and especially those who have had much success doing it, you are selling yourselves short and doing a great injustice to your skills as a hunters. I believe your success came from your knowledge of the whitetail and not the clothes on your back.

I have never considered myself a "great hunter" But I have done good over the years. I have killed a deer every year for as long as I remember (mid 80's). I am on a buck run of at least one every year since 1994. Ten years in a row with at least one buck kill. (some years more) not all with a bow and not all P&Y either.

The point I'm trying to make is I have never ever wore a scent lock suit and I have had adeer less than 5 feet from me one time when I was on the ground (gun hunting). I have had deer upwind, downwind and everywhere in between that never scented me. How is this possible? I'm serious, how can it be that a deer walked right past me and never knew I was there while I was sitting on the ground with my back to a tree? The wind was blowing from my left to right and I was looking up wind when all of a sudden out of the corner of my eye I see him. He was walking directly into the wind and my scent and the darn thing almost tripped over my legs. It wasby far my easiest kill and a big 8 point no less. (about 120in, I never measured) Then sometimes It seemed like they could smell me 200yds away. Why?

If you want to believe in scent lock garments go right ahead, on paper and in studies it works. But it has it's flaws and questions,the biggestbeing "can it be regenerated?" Personally I don't think it can, and I also believe most of the garments are "full" before you even get them home. There are too many very knowledgeable people including some on this very forum saying it can't be regenerated without very high temps that I don't think I can dismiss them without solid scientific proof............I haven't heard or read ityet.

All I'm getting is alot of smoke and mirrors.
