We all know that bow hunting for whitetail is a game of odds. It is a passion, for many of us, of mere chance encounters and opportunities. You can fool yourself as much as you would like, but deer hunting is a game of odds.

If I was with a cane pole fishing a 10 acre pond for a 5 lbs. largemouth where only one 5 lbs. largemouth lived, my odds would be slim to catch it. But, if I was fishing the same pond with the latest rod and reel.. newest fishing lures.. a fish finder.. map of lakes depth.. and a boat.. my odds would greatly increase for catching that same 5 lbs. bass. I just increased my odds!

So for me, using the No-Scent products, can only increase my odds on killing a whitetail that I am after. I still hunt the wind.. but in the deer woods anything can and has happened to me. Bucks and does will go down wind of you someday, that is inevitable. So if using the scent eliminating camo controls just the smallest of human scent giving me just a minimal advantage and increasing my odds I am going to use it. Just as some of you are with your camo patterns, I am with my scent control.

I take my deer hunting extremely seriously and want the best of odds each time I visit my stands. If my odds of taking a deer go from 250-1 to 249-1.. while using some sort of scent elimination.. I will take those odds. I want to know on each sit that my odds are as good as I can get them today. They are the best odds that I could gather. So I will use every trick in the book to increase them.. even slightly!


I know that there are many great hunters on this forum. I will not give names. But I know each one of you know that you got to where you are by increasing your own odds on taking whitetail. Whether that was through great land you now hunt, great camo pattern you now wear, better positioning of your stands, better tactics and strategy etc. etc etc. To believe that you cannot increase your odds with a better scent elimination, is simply not realizing your own potential as a deer hunter.


Bottom line... deer hunting is all about odds-period. I will continue to use the scent elimination products.
