RE: Myth Busters and Scent Control
 

Atlas,
I'm think what you are expecting is a research paper done by some lab just because they descided to check on scent-Lok products.
The second link I provided you was independent lab study. Yes, Scent-Lok paid the bill. I don't think I want to ..do you? Who else would ask for research on a product of this nature, but the manufacturer, to check their own findings. Consumer groups don't bother w/ hunting related products.so you won't find it in Consumer Reports.

As far as peer reviews are concerned, I believe you will trust only yourself. I'm sure you've read reviews both pro and con , and you choose to believe the con. That's o.k. I don't believe allthe reviews I read either.

What I will attempt to provide are findings by a lab other than Scent-Lok's own lab. Does it matter who paid for it? I understand your skepticism if you do.

Having said that , if no research or lab tests exist I WILL ADMIT TO IT.
You can be assured of that.

One more thing. Of all the "PROS" out there that use Scent-Lok and those that don't , why did you choose to believe what Michael Corrigan said?
There are more pros that use the stuff and pay for it themselves than I care to mention.

Again, I'll keep u posted on my findings.

I'm one to believe the would help, however as I stated before proper washing works for me everytime regardless whether I clothsline them or dry them in the dryer. Phsycological I would rather clothsline them but I've never noticed a difference.

RE: Myth Busters and Scent Control
 

I would never expect that.........because I know it doesn't exist.

The inherent bias involved with paying a company to do your testing......and dictating how the test is performed negates any value from the resultant data. It was also not a "study". It was a "test" that was dictated by the company that paid the bill and no details of methods were even given. The document has handwriting on it for cryin' out loud.

I don't think you understand what I mean by peer review. It has nothing to do with hunters. It is a way for research to be examined by qualified people in the field to keep poor data from ever being published. You submit your study for peer review and it is sent out to various reviewers for critique........then corrections can be made by the authors or certain points clarified. This can go back and forth for quite some time and often the study never gets published. Basically it is a way to keep the integrity of publsihed data as high as possible........so misinformation does not creep into what are considered to be references of scientific facts. Last month I was part of a team that reviewed a study that has been trying to get published in JAMA for what seems like forever..........and there were still problems. Getting published is not an easy task.


Yes

I don't believe him.........or not believe others. That is the beauty of science. It is just right and wrong. You don't need faith or belief in gravity, convection, osmosis, conduction, force, inertia, friction, or any other law of science..........they just are. Carbon is no exception.

Who wears the stuff is really of no concern to me when trying to evaluate the science of the suits. I don't think shaping your opinion based on what some hunting "pro" is wearing is a very good way to go.

Thanks

RE: Myth Busters and Scent Control
 

How bloodhounds and other dogs trail humansviashed skin cells is pretty well documented. It's not a great leap of faith to think that deer have the same ability, since deer and dogs share an evolutionary line of development. (It's not too uncommon to find a whitetail with vestigial canine teeth). Carbon suits do nothing for shed skin cells, so theMythBusters results are not surprising- see my thread http://www.huntingnet.com/forum/tm.aspx?m=1650095&mpage=1&key=&#165009 5

I can't stand the Myth Busters Show. Those guys are full of it. Did you all see the show there they said it was impossiable to Robin Hood an arrow. They said it can't be done. Well I'm sure a number of us have the proof for them!

RE: Myth Busters and Scent Control
 

If they have done an episode on scent suppressive clothing then I'm gratified to know that they actually read the e-mails sent to their website, I'm one of the people who suggested it to them.
