#1 I personally think scent control is one of the biggest, if not the biggest, money making gimmick in this industry. I know many fellow hunters that buy all of the scent control clothing, all of the scent control sprays, wafers, deoderants, etc.BUT I dont know any hunters that use all of these products and completely disregard the wind. I dont spend money on these things , someone else does, yet we both play the wind when we hunt. Where has all of his money spending gotten him if he still hunts the way my stinky self does? In general though, yes, scent control is huge, by playing the wind and hunting stands on correct days.

#3 I would have to disagree with your take on camo. I find it extremely important for bowhunters and especially for us that hunt from the ground. I hunt from the ground more and more every year because I found myself too locked intothe idea I needed to be in atreestand to be succesful. If I liked a spot, but there was no tree to hunt from, I didnt hunt it. Not anymore, I have more piles of brush made into ground blinds in the areas I hunt than I have treestand locations. When you are eye level with a deer, in a natural ground blind (no popups), camo is of the utmost importance. I've taken 3 PY bucks the last 3 years and 2 were from ground blinds made less than 12 hours before the shot. I need my camo.
