Hey atlasman, YES, those companies do ask you to believe in their products. They can list all the studies they want. You read all the data you want. And you can listen to all of the first hand accounts that you want but if you don't believe the studies, data, and accounts than you still won't buy their products.
You're missing the point.........The companies I listed don't ask you to "believe" anything.......it just is what it is. It can all be verified easily. Scent suits ask you to "believe" that they are keeping you scent free. Can you verify that?.........Can they? They want you to "believe" that the suits are "regenerated" in a dryer yet can you verify that??........Can they??
Also, why do you expect us to believeyour, and others "experience," and then bash us for believingthe actual field experience of those that say that the suits work. Call me crazy but if I talk to people who have 10, 20,or 30+ years hunting and they tell me that they see more deer and spook fewer of them, I am going to believe it because they have been there and done that.
Field experiences are so random and have a million variables to each case that they are not reliable to use as proof one way or the other. For every guy that raves about a great product and his experience you can find someone else to say it is junk. Really is a waste of time trying to prove a point based on something that happened to a guy someday out in some woods somewhere and think that somehow relates to a reliable prediction of expected outcomes.
So yes, no matter what the evidence for or against, you do have to believe in something to buy it
That is not true.........when something can be easily proven it doesn't have to be "believed".......it just is. I don't care whether you "believe" in gravity or not......if you hop out of your treestand you are gonna experience it first hand........it just is.
and please stop bashing people who trust and rely on the experience of others who have spent countless hours in the woods "testing" products.
I'm not bashing them..........I'm just pointing out the futility in such a venture.
If it helps me kill a deer, it passes my test.
If you could prove that it did then I would agree with that statement.
