Default RE: Question about Scentblocker Clothes

I own many suits(5 I think) partly because I live near where they make them and have got all of my suits from the company's sidewalk sale(or whatever they call it). One of those things where you have to know a guy that works there to hear about it. Guys start lining up at 6:00 for an 8:00 start time. Kind of goofy to think about it, but I got all my suits for $60-$75 for the whole suit. Tough to plunk down all the cash on a piece of clothing if paying retail. They ended this year for some reason. Dang!!

I have never hunted without them, so I guess I don't know what the flip side of it is, but I've never been busted down wind from any animal coming into me. Not even yotes, which probably will bust you before most deer will. Like Buck said, you still have to watch what you do with the rest of the scent on your body and your other clothes. But the remaining scent you can't get or create driving out to your land or the scent you create walking out to your stand, it will cover up or mask. There was a debate on the bowhunting forum about it and some guy had specifics and why it will work at first, but won't once the carbon pores get filled. I don't know exactly what the outcome was, but I won't hunt unless I can shower in descenting soap 1st and won't hunt unless I have my scentlok suit. But's that just me. Being that I don't have the opportunity to NOT hunt a stand because of a bad wind, I feel that it gives me that "little" edge to hunt a good stand even with a bad wind.
