I will post a full explanation of my opinions on scent control and the detection capabilities of a whitetail here in a few days - but in a nut shell - it is IMPOSSIBLE to reduce the amount of human scent you normally emit to the level benieth the level that a whitetail is capable of detecting. Weather all the work and products existing reduce it enough to make any real difference will be the age old arguement that will never be solved.

I had a very interesting conversation with a friend of mine at the Illinois deer classic this weekend. This guy is a trapper, and has probably been trapping longer than I've been alive. His opinion matched mine, with a bloodhound caliber sense of smell, the concept of "elimination" or even "reduction" is just a marketing and advertising campaign.
