I am sure scent block suits help and when it comes to a deers nose we can use all the help that we can get but, You can never be 100% scent free. There is no way. Also, anyone wearing so called scent free rubber boots think again. What do they think rubber boots smell like? RUBBER! The next time when your setting in your stand on a sunny day smell your boots, the heat of the sun makes them worse. It may not be human scent but it is just as bad.

Just my two sense on somthing to think about. The deer smell things in the woods and in the air all day... gas, other animals, old scent from people, and anything else that they can smell. But those things don't scare the deer, if the deer were afraid of them they would run themselfs to death because they constantly smell them. So as far is if a deer smelled rubber, I doubt it would really scare them... its your live human scent that alerts them.
here is also a test in the woods I did, I took human scent from my arm pits, head and hair... on a t-shirt and put it in the woods after it was 3 days old. It never botherd a single deer, they all smelled it and where cautioned but it didnt cause them to run. The point is they know the difference between live human scent and other odors in the woods. So even if you wear the scent lock gear (which I do) live odor still releases from your pours constantly.
