RE: scent lock clothing
IMO anyone that speaks poorly of scent lok or scent reducing clothing is simply too stubborn, old fashioned and just refuses to believe that new technology can in fact improve your hunting success.
I have worn scent lok for 5 years now. I will never enter my stands without it. In my experience it has TREMENDOUSLY reduced and maybe close to eliminated me being busted by deer. I sit in the stand close to 60 times a season so I'm no spring chicken here with the clothing.
I have no doubt that carbon will not completely re-charge. I have, however read the research that suggests that it can be partially re-charged. I keep mine in garbage bags and only wash / re-charge about 3 times a season. No cover scents and only wash in oderless wash. No earth scent / etc. You still have to keep the garment itself scent free. If you wear it intoa smokey bar it becomes useless forhunting IMO.
The concept works plain and simple. Take a rancid smelling object and place it under the fabric of a norman jacket. You'll smell it. Place it beneath the fabric of scent lok and it is completly undetectable. It works!
I can't believe anyone here is that ignorant to not try it themselves!
