What Two Beards said is true ,
if you' re not practicing scent control and hunting with the wind no suit will save you from a whitetail' s nose . A carbon suit is good insurance , but it' s not bulletproof by any measure . I once set up about 75 yds from a bedding area with my chem suit on and the wind in my face . Suddenly , the wind changed and the smell of my persimmons drifted over to the beds . Out walked 4 does , and they were headed right for me . They eventually got within 7 ft of me , and didn' t run until they saw me move . I should point out that I had thoroughly descented myself before going out , and left no skin exposed . In that situation the suit worked like a charm . Another time I was set up and waiting when a small buck came by, but he suddenly bolted into the trees . The wind was blowing toward him at the time , but I was sure he hadn' t smelled me . Had I moved ? Made a sound ? No on both counts . I had showered with a descenting bodywash , including my hair , and descented all my gear . What was it ? Then I saw it , a small gap where the jacket had come out of my belt . It only takes a small amount of scent to alert a deer to danger , and they don' t take chances . Try the chem suit during your cooler season first to keep the cost down , then decide if you want to invest in Scentlok . But don' t forget to practice strict scent control . You' ll never get rid of all of your smell , but scent control makes it much harder for deer to bust you . You can get 10 times closer to them if you don' t smell like trouble .
