Whatpuzzles me is why people who have no intentions of using scent-blocker products care that other people DO use them.

I don't understand that mentality.

Exactly. I've never owned or worn any Scent-Lok or Blocker and don't care if someone else does. It gets old listening to some people tell others how to spend their money.

I don't care who wears them, but I do care when someone ask if it is worth the money to buy them as they are expensive. I think they may work but for only a season if taken care of well. I would suggest using scent killer or a similiar product or make your own.

Save your money for something else.

GMMAT,

Are Scentblocker jokes not allowed anymore.

I think people come to a forum to get people's opinion, not mushy if it "feels good do it."

Frankly, I'm not a big fan of responses to people's questions that are along the lines of:
"To each his own." "Everybody has their own preferences." "If it works for you" etc.

I understand it with bow preference somewhat and a lot of stuff is subjective. But if anyone wants to
say a product sucks, then that is what this forum is for. [8D]

Fine LeBeau...

So he asks
I was considering purchasing the scent blocker suit.How many of you have used these and what do you think about them.
The thing that bothers me is the people putting those who HAVE purchased the product down....when they have NO experience with it. I hope that makes better sense.

Personally I own a scentblocker suit and wear it every time I'm on stand. Does it work? well I can't say for sure since I can't smell as well as a deer. What I can say is that it gives me extra confidence while I'm hunting and I do believe it offers a slight advantage over conventional clothing. However, I still select stand location as if I'm not wearing one. I don't use it as a reason to not hunt the wind but rather an added piece of protection should the deer come in down wind unexpectidly.

Fine. Though I've never owned a hoyt bow.....they suck. They're overpriced...and you're only paying for the name. You're a chump if you're stupid enough to fall for the marketing ploys.....because there's no way to prove the hoyt will kill deer any better than my $200 PSE Nova. Don't buy the snake oil.

Doesn't that sound funny?

That's what we see a lot of, though......unfortunately.

I personally have never tried it as I appreciate the challenge of having to hunt with the wind in mind, but to each his own. I honestly think it is like trying to blindfold the deer to hunt them, but everybody has their own preferences. Also, I am not at all convinced that it actually works, but if it works for you I think you should go for it.

That ones for you Lebeau
