Bingo germ. I smell a rat with that study. It was 2 products against each other. Page 17 has scent lok logo and people who think its great. Studies dont do that especially if independant. Dont get me wrong my bro swears by it and I use a diff brand but admin pushing the product, come on.

Not to mention your bow, fletching, broadheads, the spongy stuff in your quiver, wrist release, breath, nostril hairs, ear wax, dingleberries, and everything in between.

It all reeks to a deer, better off to play the wind propa like.

This reminds me of the guys that think a comb-over and a corvette will get them laid.

It still takes a LOT more than buying a suit to consistently get close without getting busted.

Were you directing that at me? If so I don't understand your correlation between the comb over and corvette versus scent control and wind direction. I don't wear scent-lok but I take all the other precautions I can. I admitted it was human error that got me busted, what else do you want?

OK...what does ScentLok tell us to do? The same stuff we do all the time. Shower w/ scent free soap, use scent free laundry detergent, all that good stuff. Could it be that the ScentLok is NOT what is deterring our scent? Could it be all the scent control measures we ALREADY use?

I have had more deer directly downwind of me this year than I care to admit. Swirling winds are mostly to blame, not much I can do about that. A couple of others just fooled me and came from a direction I didn't expect. Now, I am confident I've been busted by deer that I never even knew were there, no question. But what I can tell you is I've had 7 deer this year straight downwind of me and didn't smell me. They've cut across my path I walked, didn't "stop to smell the cornstalks I brushed as I walked by," and had no idea I was there. And oh, by the way, I've shot 3 of them. ScentLok my arse!!

Time to lock this one.

I personallythink you should use what you trust. It's likethe carbon vs. aluminum arrows debate.Both work so use what you feel most comfortable with. Ican't jude myself asI have no personal experience w/it. I have friends that use and it's about 50/50 on their opinions. Some are mad they spent the money others will be buried in it. To each his own. That being said I probably will never own any for two reasons: 1) way too rich for my blood 2) It appears what I'm doing now works because I haven't been winded this year. (that I know of)

I think if you can afford it then try it. Like the cliche goes: You'll never know 'til you try.

Not sure why I got a bingo, I was joking with HCH.

As for Justine I find him to be a honest man, I would listento his advice admin or not.

As for Scent-Lok I have used it since 2000, but it is part of my scent control.

IfI was shooting the first deer walk by I would not bother with half of what I do. When you let deer walk by you, you increase the chance he or she will walk behind you. I do what I can with my setups to prevent this from happing.

16 I shot came from the cornfield behind me, wind was out north he came from the south. Now I was not in stare down like Atlas with his deer, but I was in a really good tree, and not hanging out in the open. I was also dressed for the weather; therefore I was not shakingeither, but what do I know[&:]

i have been using it this year and never been busted and just got my first deer with my bow dead downwind. So far this year i had deer bedded down 25 yards away dead downwind and ive had over 10 deer dead downwind and never even got nervous.

The way I look at it, every little thing we can do to minimize the scent we take into the woods with us helps.

If that means spending the $250 on a full set of scent concealing camoflauge, do it. If it makes you that much more confident then you're going to enjoy yourself that much more.

I haven't yet purchased any scent concealing clothing, but I plan to in the future.
