PA,
I like the idea of the antimicrobial much better because you know any type of absobing material as a maximum carrying capacity. But what do I know. I think confidence is one of the most important things that you can carry into any sport. When I am confident in a spot that I am hunting, I just hunt better. I go to more precaustions to be quiet, I take more scent precautions, I move less when I am on stand, and my mind doesnt' wander near as much. Confidence manifests itself in many ways IMO. If scent lok gives you that confidence then I think it's a wonderful thing. My point of contention really comes more from the "I had a deer straight down wind of me and he didn't smell me" stories". With that many variables involved I just don't think anyone can say that the deer didn't smell me bacause of the scent lok. Too many of us non-scent lok users have similar stories. I think sometimes we give deer to much credit and other times not enough
