Default RE: Scent Containment Clothing," A Joke" ?

Scentlock suits (and other deer hunting toys) remind me of the Simpsons episode where Lisa tells Homer that a rock on the ground could just as easily be given the credit for keeping bears out of town.........and not the massive bear patrol they were being taxed for. The truth was there just weren' t any bears in town.

Of course Homer offerd to buy the rock


To say that people who don' t wear scent blocker clothes are getting winded by deer all the time and just don' t know it simply can' t be proven........just like you can' t prove that peeing on the ground scares deer off....or rattling, bleats or grunts attract deer...after all if ONE sound or scent worked EVERY time we would all have them in or bags. Curiosity is an amazing thing and deer are loaded with it.........I' m sure we all have seen a deer respond dramatically to a scent or sound.......only to have other deer walk right by and ignore it totally. Becoming totally scent free is impossible so why spend $400 on a suit when you can accomplish the same thing with $20 worth of stuff from Cabela' s and your regular clothes? I am not sure how many of you guys read my thread on limb grease and how strong it smells.....WOW!! Last time I checked we will ALL have bows with us in the woods...so Scent Lock all you want and if you still have the factory limb grease in your pockets you are a walking chemical scent wick. I guess what I don' t understand about SCent Lock suits is they are not air tight right?? Now simple physics will reveal that when you move around the air inside your suit will be forced out not through the fabric but out the paths of least resistence.....the neck, arm and leg holes.........So you are just puffing body scent out anyways.


Unfortunately, deer hunters are burdened by the " What if" doubts that marketing companies prey on like coyotes.

Only deer hunters could be convinced that you must totally conceal EVERY aspect of your body in the purest camo possible in order to blend in to the woods so a deer can' t spot you............Then 6 weeks later these same people are out hunting the same animals glowing like the orange Michilan Man.....LOLOLOL


We are fed every hook line and sinker out there and we never stop biting.

I am sure scent lock clothes do absorb odors........I have had fish tanks for years and am well aware of the filtering power of carbon. They cannot IMO make you scent free so I do not see the justification for them when the same can be accomplished for much less money and agrivation.


Now if you will all excuse me I have to go get my rattle bag, can, JUMBO CAN, cover scent, scrape juice, scent wicks, doe pee, fox pee, coon pee, acorn spray, earth wafers, still steamin buck semen, grunt tube, cough silencer, Walker' s game ear, rangefinder, GPS, binocs, trail cam, camcorder, umbrella, face paint, wind puffer, hand warmers, camo, blaze orange, head net, razor ring broadheads, pee bottle, apples, peanut butter, picture decoy, Carbon Blast, ScentLock, Scent bag, UV killer, bug suit, Rut guide, Moon guide, back tension, Aero Foils, No Peep, bow sling, pendulum sight, vertical pins, fork tamers, drop away, limb savers, pruners, limb saw, fire tacks, game finder, game cart, deer cane, bio mass, talkabout, ......and oh yea my bow.

Now I am all set for the season

I am gonna need bigger side bags on my Summit I think
