Interesting.........very interesting.

I'll preface my following comments by stating that I've already put in place the steps to purchase some of this camo. I want EVERY advantage available when I step into the whitetail woods. I think this pattern will work extremely well when the leaves are off our trees.

Rob...like you...I'm METICULOUS RE: scent control. I never go to stand without showering (same products you utilize).....I spray down.....try not to sweat...etc.../etc.../etc...

I posted the story when I shot my buck, last Saturday. I had TWENTY-PLUS deer inside 30 yds....DIRECTLY down wind of me........

I'm no matheme........well.....I'm not real good with numbers......but that's a LOT of ears, eyes and noses to bust your friendly neighborhood tree hanger. I had my release on my bowstring....and my boy stared a hole through me at 20 yds......for 40 seconds or more. Nice game of stare down....that's hard to play with you leg shaking uncontrollably.

I too wonder why ANYONE would not want to tke EVERY advantage they could to help in our quest to get close....close...closer to these magnificent animals. I'll say my control of my SCENT was my number one ally, last Saturday. No. 02 was the fact that the area had received NO PRESSURE for over a year or more. No. 03 would be me remaining motionless. No. 04 would be the fact that they came from DIRECTLY behind me.....and probably didn't see even the slightest of movements I'd surely made prior to their arrival. That many deer don't walk up, every day.......and for a reason. No. 05 would be my camo pattern (In my admittedly new state of being a bowhunter's opinion). I had on at LEAST (counting everything) SIX different patterns.

Doesn't mean I don't think this stuff works......this was just ONE experience of mine.
