RE: Do you think Scent Lok is a must?
ORIGINAL: Arthur P Germ, ufortunately the photo is posted without any source, so I can't say who made the photo and neither can you. This is just one of several different but similar photos I have seen on the internet but this is the only one I can find still up. I haven't seen a rebuttal, either in photograph or print, from any of the manufacturers to dispute it. If you have a link to such, please post it. This photo IS on T.R. Michels' web page, but I would expect him to make use of this kind of photo to support his point of view. Also, he discusses the 'bribery attempt' on the same page. I really don't want to jump into the war between Michels and Scent Lok. It's raging along quite nicely without me anyway. ;) But since you brought it up, here's the link to his page. http://www.trmichels.com/ActivatedCarbonScience.htm His message is like getting your hand caught in the cookie jar, then telling your mother the cookie was for her;) The man is a joke, maybe his scent system sales will pick up;) |

I pose this strictly for the sake of argument.......Ok, let's say carbon clothing doesn't work as they say......Let's say, again for the sake of argument, that the above photo is 100% accurate and legit (hell, it may be, I don't know)..........Even though it's letting some human scent through, the carbon will catch some of it, correct? I'm getting sidetracked already, back to that thought in a second.....The point I was going to make is this......Even if it doesn't do as they say, does it actually HURT? I can't see that.....
Ok, back to my other thought.......(oh look, a chicken....[&:]) I am of course making these numbers up, this is strictly for discussion, but let's say we start with 100 scent molecules. Now we take a shower in our favorite scent eliminating soap and drop those molecules down to 60. We have washed our clothes in scent eliminating detergent, knocking it down to 40 molecules. Now let's put our carbon clothing on and it doesn't catch all of those 40 molecules, but let's say it catches 20 of them........I'm now down to 20 scent molecules......Again, these numbers are fictitious, but ya'll get my point...... Even if it is only 25% as effective, that's 25% more than I started with.......Or is that all hogwash? |

If it works or not who cares. We all have bought camo that makes us look like a giant black blob, but every year we buy more because we think it helps.
We have went from 2 cams to 1, now back to two, and we can not get enough. We buy scents that may scare more deer than attract, yet we still buy. Now I do not believe in some products, but someone else might. Good for them, but I am not on here railing against a product, or trying to get them to bribe me.[:-] |
RE: Do you think Scent Lok is a must?
I never have used the stuff and don't know if it works or not.With that said I dont' believe it works like it is advertised to work."forget the wind just hunt" thats hogwash.I don't believe it will work for the reason that you can not be totally scent free.This does not mean that it does'nt help you control your scent.I don't know,but I won't find out,because I don't believe it works good enough to spend the kind of money they want you to pay for it.Not that anything else is worth the money you have to pay for it either.

RE: Do you think Scent Lok is a must?
ORIGINAL: MILLERTIME10 Never been busted by smell......that you know about.;)There are a lot of people out there that have been busted many times over by deer that never knew were in the country. Guys figure that they already sit around season after season and NOT see big bucks anyways..........so why not throw some money at the problem in the hopes that they have really been doing everything right all along but they just weren't using the magic potion ;) At the very worst they STILL don't see monster bucks or more deer and they just chalk it up to another pile of money they spent trying to fix a problem that can't be fixed by money (something they already knew but figured it was worth a shot anyways). When the upside is GREAT and the downside is nothing changes people will ALWAYS be willing to risk money on that chance. Play the lottery and win millions or just continue life as is. Use a magic hair tonic and grow back all your hair.......or you're still bald. Take a magic fat burner and get skinny........or you're still fat Wear a magic suit and see more and bigger deer......or nothing changes. All have a very positive upside and no downside other then feeling like you wasted your money............which is a chance many are willing to take. People have been getting rich off this fact for a LONG time now. |

RE: Do you think Scent Lok is a must?
So you detractors are saying it doesn't work at all, correct. Is that what you're saying? Or....might it help (___%)?
Just to be clear..... |
