Interesting Article in F & S this month. I wish I could find it online so I could post a link. I'm sure it's buried in their website somewhere but I can't find it.

Last year they used a police dog ( supposedly they smell at the same rate as a Whitetail ) to see if scent eliminators had any effect. The conclusion was they had none as Fido busted the hunters using the scent eliminators at the same rate as he found those with no scent blockers.

This year, they tested cover scents. The conclusion: Fido will still find you but Skunk and Acorn cover slowed the process down. They both were superior to Pine and Earth cover.

I thought it was interesting. I know everyone has they're own theory on these product but it's nice to see unbiased testing to help make educated decision.
