ORIGINAL: Washington Hunter
Look at it this way; even if it doesn't work exactly like it is advertised, Scent Lok, Scent Blocker, and all those other companies are selling confidence to those hunters who need it to be successful.
When it comes to hunting, what is the number one thing you need to take into the woods with you to be successful? (Aside from your equipment.)
Confidence.
If wearing hundreds of dollars worth of scent concealing clothing products will make someone that much more confident in their approach to hunting, why argue it?
Does Scent Lok work? Probably to an extent.
Can the carbon clothing be reactivated like the manufacturers claim? Probably not.
Is it worth the money?
To some, maybe. To others, definitely not.
What it all adds up to is these companies selling confidence in the form of clothing to hunters who need that little extra boost of it.
Case closed? (Yeah right.)
So like I stated in the .02 cents thread:
So are you saying that a Q-Ray bracelet, a,buckeye in your pocket, or a rabbit foot could be just as effective if a hunter believes in it? I wonder if when a person buys this carbon clothing that they have finally reached a new level of being a good hunter as far as knowing how to select proper stand sites along with implementing the scent neutralizing sprays that they just somehow imagine that it must be the carbon clothing,( with the no way to reactivate the tiny minute carbon particles), helping too. Afterall, when a person drops $400 on a carbon outfit, they WANT to think that it helps. Nobody wants to admit that they got taken.Maybe this is like a Dr.'s patient being given a sugarpill placebo for a headache and the headache goes away.
