Default RE: Scent Control and Concealment.

Rob, I couldn't agree more. Obviously we spook deer that we don't even realize are there, but I think if we take all of the precautions we can it's at least limited. It took me years of aggravation, not seeing many deer, and certainly not killing any deer, to realize it must be something I am doing, or NOT doing.

Since then I've practiced solid scent control, use the wind to my advantage, and wear good camo, like Enigma. Isn't it interesting that "all of a sudden" I'm seeing MANY more deer than I ever have and I even manage to take one home with me once in a while. Certainly I'm running deer off that I never see, but my success rate has climbed 200%.

Speaking of Enigma, stalked another flock of turkey this past weekend. I was never offered a shot, but I snuck to within 20 yards of them in the woods. I know squirrels aren't the brightest bulbs on the tree, and they are pretty easy to fool, but there is something to this Enigma pattern. Ya'll know how squirrels do. They look at you, stare, and obviously see something out of place. Now, what I've noticed w/ Enigma is that they are briefly glancing in my direction, then right back to whatever they are doing. I'm not sure how to describe it, but they act differently to Enigma than other patterns I've worn. My confidence keeps building every time I wear it. There is something scientific going on w/ this pattern, I just can't put a finger on it. It truely works.
