Default RE: scentlok lawsuit???

Some members on here wanted proof or a test on weither it worked or not ........ well here is my test ...........

First of all, I did my test with my beagle. This dog just loved to find me when I was in the woods. When he got down wind, it would not take him very long and he would be sitting at my feet. Believe me, he was very good at finding me.

Well one day, I put on my scent-loc suit and went into the woods, a different entry point then normal and into a different area. I had a friend take the dog into the other end, cross wind to where I was and then release the dog. The dog just loved to hunt smells in the bush. My friend made lots of noise so I would have a good idea of where they were, I had also hid at the base of a bush so I did not outline myself. When the dog did get down wind of me, I could see him take notice and start to scent the air. Did he smell me, yes he did, but he was alot closer to me then normal before he pinned pointed me and my location. He did actually have to work at finding me.

Did the Scent -Loc work at eliminating my scent .......... No it did not ............. Did it help in Reducing my scent ....... Yes it did .......... Would the scent - loc be an advantage to a hunter .... yes it would ......... is it worth the money ........... ? do not know about that maybe/maybe not. BUt if your confidant in your setup, then use it. Confidance is the most important part in you becomeing sucessful.

Now back up this arguenment a little bit. There are some that go well beyond praticallity. They would wash everything in non scent soap, store clothes in air tight bags with pine branches in it for cover scent. Use scent free detergent, soap & shampoo. All of this just to become scent free. BUt then, at the hunt camp the night before opening day, the camp would have their normal meal of CHILI. Like one member said earlier, one little CHILI BOMB and then what is SCENT FREE.

Become confidant in your setup and then you will become more successful. Weither you go over board or use no scent control or not does not matter, just become confidant in how you hunt.
