I've stated it before and will do so again. Deer are stupid, and are made out to be smart so we buy products companies put out for we sportsman.
My gpa until he died a couple years ago used to lean against a tree, wearing work boots and overalls with grease all over them, smoking an A&M and wearing a CASE International hat, shot deer after deer.
I'm sure some deer that have never seen/smelled a human will spook out, but I've yet to see it. My buddy wears Scentlok head to toe, he ****s himself we all smell it. Doesn't seem to work to well to me.

I can tell you all kind of stories about circumstances Deer were killed in, but I don't think I'll base my Bowhunting strategy on those stories[8D]

I have some scent blocker clothes and I am not sure but I think it might help some. If the deer get directly down wind of you and the conditions are right they will still smell you. I think the tight weave of the fabric helps more than the charcoal which I don't think is enough to really help a lot. The clothes I got are good quality hunting clothes and the price was right. The tightness of the fabric also keeps the cold wind out.

I believe by following a very strict scent control regimen including Scent Blocker clothes you can fool a Deer's nose by making him think you are farther away or were through there hours before.
If you don't well that's your opinion, and just because I use Scent Blocker clothes hardly makes me a Fool[8D]

I don't think you are a fool Dan............however, it is not opinion, it is scientific fact that the garments absolutely cannot work the way they are advertised to work. It is only a matter of time before that truth comes out. There has NEVER been even one sliver of proof that carbon clothes can help you fool a deer's nose..........just anecdotal stories about people saying they saw a deer downwind.......or more deer.........no better or worse then grandpa standing against the tree in greasy clothes and shooting deer.
What really amazes me about this subject is that people believe it is a matter of opinion............science, and chemistry especially have no room for opinions. It is black and white or right and wrong.......simple as that.
Saying putting on a carbon suit will help you fool a deer's nose is about the same as saying killing a deer is as simple as pointing and shooting...........There's so much more to it then that

The suit did start up here, but it is not a buisness. it is 6 individuals or so, some beeing "mouthpieces" (lawyers). They are after more than just Scent Blocker also. Buisness like Cabelas, Gander Moutain, Bass Pro,Browning (Ithink), among others.

I don't think "lab coat guy" had anything to do with it... he's in Decatur, AL., and this particular suit originated in Minnesota, if I'm not mistaken. Also, it's not good practice for one manufacturer to sue another manufacturer in the archery industry; it's a relatively small community, and who knows who you'll end up working with in the future.

I never said it eliminates all human scent. Anybody would know better than that. I do believe it helps cut the strength of the scent you leave. Like I said it is a part of a Scent Control regimen. Scent control is something you either go at 150% or you might as well forget it and just hope the wind is always at your chin. Sure I hunt with the wind in my favor as much as possible (even Anal about it) but if you can hunt a Bear Bait, Water hole, or even a Rattling/Decoy setup for Whitetails and tell me where the animals are always going to come from, then you are hunting different beasts than I am. Ever tried a stalk and the wind swirl for just a few seconds? I want an advantage when that happens, and I'll continue to use anything that gives me an advantage
After all I have to wear clothes might as well be Scent control clothes

The only point of atlasman's argument I will argue is whether science is right or wrong. And here's why I say that. Science can prove, or disprove, anything it wants. Case in point.....Evolution/creation. BOTH have proven to be a SCIENTIFIC fact. How can that be? It's either right or wrong, right??
