I know a "real" hunter who uses it. I know a "wannabe" hunter who uses it. I'll let others decide how "real" I am. I shot a 9-pointer this year that had no idea I was 40 yards away from him. I don't use scent-lok, but I don't judge people for what they wear. I judge them by how they hunt. Wannabe was walking a creek with me and I showed him a ground blind I built on a bluff with some good shooting lanes. I told him I planned to hunt it a few days later because we had left scent in the area. He said Ileft scentbut he didn't because he was wearing scent-lok. He was pushing branches with his bare hands but somehow his magic underwear kept him from leaving scent.
