Being a fairly young hunter I'll agree and disagree. You won't see me spending the extra 100 bucks for a set of bibs that is scent lock versus ones that aren't. But I do buy spray on no-scent, wash with deoderizing detergent, and keep my clothes in an airtight bin till I get to the woods. With that said, if the deer are gonna circle and get your scent, they're probably not going to miss it.
