I don't own a scent suit and most likely never will. To me, its a gimmick and I have better things to spend my money on.Before season I wash all clothing in scent killer andair dry on the clothes line for a few days. Its then placed in a scent tight containers. I take a scent killer shower before I dress in the mornnig. I hunt a lot and wash my undergarments about every two weeks during season. I don't put my outers on until I get out of the truck and dress on the tailgate before heading in. I use scent killer to spray myself down before leaving the truck as well.

Now, here's the kicker. I chew snuff on stand and spit on the ground. I have had numerous deer come right under my stand and I know they smelled the stuff. Never once spooked. I also just spray my boots with racoon urine before heading out. I can honestly say in my 12 years of bowhunting so far, have never had a deer come across where I walked and became alarmed.

In my opinion its not about scent being in the area, its the amount of scent that spooks or alarms them. Think about it. All year long deer smell human scent in one way or another. Whether its drifting from a nearby house or camp, farmers tending to their business, hikers, bikers etc, deer learn to differentiate whether or not there is enough scent to believe a human is nearby. Keeping this scent to a low level usually does the trick.

I guess I'm saying the scent lok and the such will help. But why spend the money? Its already been proven that the claims of reactivation is false. And the suits will usually be pretty much worthless in a few years because you can "regenerate" the carbon like they state.
