RE: Scent-Lok suits
If you conduct a topic search on this site you will find plenty of in depth posts. I will just say that carbon suits are 1 step in a scent reduction practice that will put you on and in front of more deer!!! Just understand that it is impossible to totally eliminate all human odor but with all the technology we have available, it is possible to reduce our scent to trace levels. These trace levels are what I believe allows me to kill more and bigger (older) deer. For instance,if a deer smells you at 25 yards.... he folds inside out and you end up blowing him out of the area for the rest of the season, NO second chance!!! Now,... if you have taken steps to "eliminate" your scent then maybe when that buck detects you at the same distane instead of actually smelling 25 yards away you smell 250 yards away!!! As you can imagine, that wouldn't spook a buck nowhere near as bad. In fact with farm country deer it probably wouldn't cause a deer to even hesitate. I can also say the same thing about enetry and exit trails. I feel this is where most hunters educate their deer. Get sloppy here and you really screw everything up!!! With scent control, when that deer hits your trail he may think the scent is many hours old instead of red hot fresh.
For the record, I store my hunting garb in scent-free bags and then don't put my gear on until I reach my hunt area. I pull on a Scent-Lok liner suit and then over that I wear a ScentBlocker camo suit. Add the Scent-Lok hood and gloves and then spray myself head to toe with Carbon Blast and I feel like I have an edge on the scent control game.
