RE: Do you think Scent Lok is a must?
i dont know if anyone touched on this or not, of you that use them, do you think the deer can smell the suit, i seem to think my suit has an aroma to it that i know if i can smell ita deer can certainly smell it. what do you guys think, i have a suit and wonder sometimes, although i dont usually get busted often.

I have enough camo that Iput a days worth of clothes in a plastic bag after washing it in scent away soap and have the bags separated into cold vs warm weather. I end up with 5 or 6 full set-ups ready to go.
I also use coveralls alot and don't put them on until I am in the woods. I also use nothing but scent free soap on ALL my clothes as the season nears.
Play the wind right and you can smell like an old goat anyway..

Atlas,
I seem to be a target in this thread. At least your latest target. I'm not going to try and match wits w/ you. You are much more intelligent than I.
I wanted to know what your expierence was w/activated carbon because you seemed to be privy to information that the rest of uswere not.It was not meant to disscredit you or what you were saying.
You want to know my background? In this case, you want to know if I have any scientific knowledge of activated carbon.
I do not...and never said I did.
I am , however , intelligent enough to understand and comprehend what I read , in scientific terms.I may be one of the few poeple in the world who keepshis Chemistry and Physics texts from college.(1976 if youneed know).
In your infinate knowledge of this subjet, you see flaws. You are saying that according to your expierence that activated carbon cannot be reactivated. That's what your findings say.
On the other hand, we have results from another lab that says it can be reactivated.
The debate goes on...I guess we'll never know. As someone stated earlier in this thread...science can prove or disprove anything.It can depend on the testing procedures and the intended applicationsas you know.
My expierence w/ SL has been in the woods. I used to get busted alot.
Since I began using it, I have NEVER been busted due to scent. That's 10 years worth of woods time. If it did not work for me I would not spend the $. No one gives ME a free suit to wear. I'm don't like wasting $. Just ask my wife.

I haven't ever been able to afford it. I've killed deer without it, but who knows how many of deer I would've killed with it.
I always spray down with Scent Killer, but have never actually used carbon-activated clothing.

Let's just have everyone who's commented on the stuff (including the Dr. from NC State and the chemist) list their credentials.
He who has the most initials after his name, wins.

Hundreds of years of Science vs. a cheap infomercial.
