Default RE: Scentloc or not?

You simply will not ever fool an animals nose. Look at drug smugglers and what they go through to mask or hide the odor of drugs. Dogs (whos noses are on par with deer and elk) easily pick up heavily maskeddrug odors in all kinds of chemicals and organic maskers. Carbon suddenly fixes all this???????

Even with the use of all the scent free soaps, maskers and body odor eliminators, you simply stink. Your skin, especially your hands, scalp, face, bung hole, etc. are always secreting oils and fluids, let alone your nose, mouth and ears. This stuff stinks bad, especially when we as humans with our poor sense of smell can smell it. You can't get rid of it no matter what you wash in, spray on or wear. If it isn't our body that stinks, it is our bows (lube), arrows, strings, shoes and clothing that we wear. It all stinks all the time to animals. You just can't fool an animals nose. Often times when an animals seems undistressed down wind from us, it is because they haven't been educated by hunters or just have other things on their mind or just don't care. I have seen this countless times, with and without scent elimination items. It doesn't mean they didn't smell us. Sometimes they are just curious, even big bucks and big elk. Some of the biggest critters I have ever seen have walked right up to me from the down wind side without a care in the world. I know they can see me and smell me, but just don't care. Just my two cents. Flinch
