Maybe we should use the bowhunting contest to compile some statistical data to help settle the scent lok argument. Just to keep it simple we could have categories like no scent control, full scent lok with full scent control measures, full scent control measures without scentlok and then determine the % of hunters in each group that kill a buck and the average gross score of the deer killed by the hunters in each group. Just an idea.......
Compiled data does not a hunter make. Compiled data will not balance the UNBALANCED deer populations. Really, the best way to end it is for everyone to understand HOW it's suppose to work and why what they say that makes it work.... is about unscientific as you can get. IF it has any advantage at ALL, it's lost about the first time you sweat in it or get it contaminated. Your dryer can not expell the unexpellable. When something is NON Volitile... it can't be evaporated with a simple home dryer. Hell, the stuff doesn't vaporize in a still working at 250 degrees. "REPLICATED HUMAN ODOR" is NOT fatty acids and oils and the substance of human odor. They saturate the fabic with a volitile(it'll vaporize in a home dryer" REPLICATED HUMAN ODOR and then declare it works. Any statistics you might keep on who wears it and all that are bogus without a controlled environment and deer densities and hunter abilities. It would mean NOTHING.
