Scentlok / Scent Blocker Yay or Nay?
Just heard a couple of complaints about carbon suits. What is everybody elses opinion on them. Also, is Scent Shield / Scent Blocker and Scent-lok two different companies?

RE: Scentlok / Scent Blocker Yay or Nay?
Scent Blocker and Scent-lok are two different companies with two different approaches to scent control. The blocker does just what its name implies and stops a person's scent from getting out. Scent-lok absorbs a persons scent all together(in theory). I've heard that the scent blocker quits working after a few seasons, but this is just what I heard. I've had good luck with the scent-lok myself and haven't heard anything bad from other people. You still have to hunt the wind, but it's not always possible to stay down wind of these smart animals. I hunt a lot in Michigan's UP where its solid hard woods and the wind does nothing but swirl all day long.

I would say it depends.I agree with Rod1210 about the swirling wind all day.Me and TreeHunter hunttogether in themountains and the wind is always swirling evenif you get downwind itends up swirling all over the place.I'm gonna be new to(ScnetLok) it this year and I think it will help in our case.If I were to hunt aflat field edge where you could really pin point wind direction I would say it mattersless but in our case I think it will help.We'll see I guess.I hope it does though.

Anyone who doesnt like scentlok probably dont do everything needed to make it work. Theres alot to it and it's all or nothing. I've had deer all around me with the wind swirling and got away with it. I think it's really worth having.
