around 12 years ago i bought some realtree advantage camo from cabelas.i use it for every thing from spring turkey to late season deer and predator hunting.i swear by it,i have had deer,turkey and coyotes 10 yards away and never know i was there as long as i don't move.for ny hunting this camo pattern seems to work real well when used with good common sence.as far as scent lock,i have never used it. but if it gives a hunter a little more of an edge, then its worth the money.
