He's another hand job trying to sell a product the way I see it.

When I do go hunting, everything gets a good spray down with Scent Killer non scented formula only.
LOL. Nothing like a good ol' fashion Theory vs. Tested Science thread to start the weekend.
Which oneistheory, and which one isTested Science?
Technically both. I just find it laughable that you believe in a product that attempts to beat a whitetail's nose, but you call a product that attempts to beat a whitetail's eye's a "gimmick". I personally don't use either, but as you stated earlier, use scent free (not scent eliminating) laundry detergent and air dry my hunting clothes.I'd venture to guess that an outstanding numberof hunting clothes manufactured today do noteven need UV treatment, simply because it was taken into very serious consideration a decade ago. Imjust trying to make a point that I would be more skeptical of a product that feeds me the "scent free" story vs. a UV killer. We both know that the deers olfactory sense are stronger than its visual or even auditory senses. Im just making the point that the rods and cones in a deer's eye gives them the ability to distinguish ultraviolet colors. I don't believe in making assumptions and calling it a tested hypothesis...
Here's all I'm going tosay about this subject, because it can be argued until the cows come home. And I'm not going there. Based on my in the field observations/experiences (test's if you will) with whitetails and their behaviors, I'venever had one react negatively towards me as a result of the camo I was wearing. Especially considering I know for sure I was in their sight window! So, this PROVES that MY camo isn't giving me away via UV "glow".
As far as thescent elimination goes, I use Scent Killer (non-scented formula)becauseit's ingredients do, for a fact, HELP eliminate human odor. This much IKNOW.So I will use it. The only time I ever get busted by a deer, it's a result of noise/ movement.
