put it this way 'real' hunter or not i tend to try and get as close as i can in any hunt be it archery,muzzle or rifle. i don't use scent lock but thats mostly due to the cost and i haven't really found the use for it. due to popular belief of some on here with enough practise and enough gun you could hunt with a marching band right beside you and still be a real hunter lol just kidding ridgerunner i couldn't resist this one.
