Atlas has proved serveral things with his post[8D]

You are correct there is no magic product, but system we all develop that make us succesful. What works for me, may not work for you.

Great post Rob, sorry I've been out of the looptesting the Enigmaany/everywhere I can.

Last night I sat on the groundat the edge of a wheatfield bordered by persimmon trees. I was sitting on my stool and a doe and a yearling came into the field. The deer were in the field for 30 minutes within 60 yards walking directly to me. My buddy put out some "Buck Jam" that actually worked against me, I had to sit on the otherside of this smal field due to wind direction. The doe got to 50 yards and turned away to go lick the buck jam. The yearling continued to walk directly me at me until she was at 20 yards. I was hoping that momma would follow the baby but it worked the opposite and I never had a shot.

Picking apart every single sentence in a post does not make a scientific point either - it only shows someone childish nature. Rob has made several remarks about "25 years of observations." His comments also ONLY stated, "I believe" and not "it is a fact that..."

Anyone can argueagainst someone's point, it takes no talent. Few can put ideas in concise order to derive a unified thought, that talent speaks for itself.

In some regards you have a point but I've read a lot of posts around here were people attribute their success so blindly to a product that completely contradicts proven science. I'm not just talking about carbon suits.

What we really need is a consumer reports dedicated solely to hunting!!!

My consumer report is on my wall, any questions?

RE: Scent Control and Concealment.
 

Rob, I couldn't agree more. Obviously we spook deer that we don't even realize are there, but I think if we take all of the precautions we can it's at least limited. It took me years of aggravation, not seeing many deer, and certainly not killing any deer, to realize it must be something I am doing, or NOT doing.

Since then I've practiced solid scent control, use the wind to my advantage, and wear good camo, like Enigma. Isn't it interesting that "all of a sudden" I'm seeing MANY more deer than I ever have and I even manage to take one home with me once in a while. Certainly I'm running deer off that I never see, but my success rate has climbed 200%.

Speaking of Enigma, stalked another flock of turkey this past weekend. I was never offered a shot, but I snuck to within 20 yards of them in the woods. I know squirrels aren't the brightest bulbs on the tree, and they are pretty easy to fool, but there is something to this Enigma pattern. Ya'll know how squirrels do. They look at you, stare, and obviously see something out of place. Now, what I've noticed w/ Enigma is that they are briefly glancing in my direction, then right back to whatever they are doing. I'm not sure how to describe it, but they act differently to Enigma than other patterns I've worn. My confidence keeps building every time I wear it. There is something scientific going on w/ this pattern, I just can't put a finger on it. It truely works.

Yeah, like how do you know you just didn't get lucky?

I guess I got lucky twice last year, LOL

The other previous one's were all luck also, you got me LOL

RE: Scent Control and Concealment.
 

Folks have won the lottery twice!

I'm sure you're a great hunter, you're here aren't you, but I bet it has more to do with you skills and less to do with your equipment (no pun intended).
