RE: What's your take on scent lock suits????
Just finished packing away my hunting clothing, stand , and blind after descenting them. Ready for Fridays opening day!
I beleive that if you use the detergent, spray and bath with the scent free stuff you should be good to go. I have a friend that loves his scentlok. I was going to try it but I have had deer feeding under my stand every year since I started smelling invisible and none of them have whiffed me yet.
The other thing is the added weight/warmth factor. It's going to be in the 70's tommorow and I don't feel like sweating my balls off. You have to be comfortable.
A friend of mine gave me a military chemical suit which is charcoal filled just like scentlok. Again, it's heavy but I was going to experiment with it during rifle season when it can get very cold. I'll let you know how it works.
By the way, I have seen the price range of these suits between $5 - $15 online or at a military surplus. If they work you could get a new one every year!
The breath thing is the only thing I am not happy with in my system. Seems to me that it's the missing ingredient. I would like to buy a scentok mask @ $24 just for the confidence factor.
What about food? I try to stick with apples and nuts just to smell as natural as possible. No cold pizza or limburger cheese!
I also descent my car and trunk and try to dress when I get there. I then spray down the bottom of my burlys before walking to my stand.
