Rubber does not absorb odours, so therefore it will not leave scent or smell in your tracks. Unlike other materials such as leather. Deer may or may not be affected by any given smell but you can rest assured anywhere they smell human scent they are alerted so the chances of being picked off dramatically increase when they have wiff of your presence.
As to the original post I don't use scentblocker clothing, I hunt with the wind in my favour and take every precaution possible/reasonable. I bank my success on my homework by way of scouting and knowing their routines then implementing it with wind direction of that given day. I don't hunt from tree stands as I need to be mobile.
The info Todd gave was the exact same thing I heard from a buddy who works with Activated Carbon and I took his expertise as I had absolutely no clue. I personally think it is valid and of worth when considering any gear to take someone expertise/training/knowledge, we all make are own decision in the end any ways.
However I must say I am a great believer in confidence and say anything that makes
you feel more confident as a hunter than you don't need to justify your reasoning. I certainly don't need all the gear I have but if it breeds confidence than it is well worth the money spent. I don't expect everyone or anyone to agree or understand my reasoning but then again why should I really care I hunt "FOR ME" not to appease the crowd. Long and short wear or buy what you want, expect opinion/debate but in the end you made the justification and no doubt nhave reasons to back up that desicion.
Is it hunting season yet?????
well said skeeter...my feelings exactly.
