RE: Scentlok story..........
I see what could be a few factors. If you practice scent control that helps. If the thermals kept you scent above her nose that's aslo key. With a wind blowing it's tough to say for sure but I'm a firm believer that scentlok isn't necessary. Can it help. I think so but forgetting scent control and relying on scentlok solely for a game plan is asking for trouble IMO.
That's just my $0.02 though.
