Fan your Fart as it disperses in the wind!
Hmmm, if your loin cloth was made from Scentblocker or Scent lok, you wouldn't have that problem . I tried a scent lok suit a few years back. Didn't see any more or less deer.Seenthe same sinceI qiut using it. Actually, I still use it, just as plain ol' camo. It's been washed.Like It's been said before, how do you prove it works? Well, I went and sat 100 yards behind the house (Big Hardwoods). I wore my Scent lok suit andrubber boots, sprayedthem down with earth scent. My wife let my German Shepard out, told him to fetch Daddy, and he ran through the woods right to where I was setting.

Ya.. ummmmmm.... aaaaaaauugh.... you can't do that with Scent-Lok or ScentBlocker. The whole idea when you use them.. is not to have any scent.

I won't say you need any sort of Scent-Lok or ScentBlocker... that's like saying you need to have a bow that shoots 320 FPS. It's just an advantage.. nothing more. But it definately will not work when used improperly.. which seems to be its major fault.. hunters who don't read directions or research how to care and use the product.

Oh.. and for those of you court room junkies.. Scent-Lok is being sued not over the effectiveness of the product but rather the arrogance of their slogan.."forget the wind, just hunt". Last I checked a Chevy wasn't really "Like a Rock".. but hey.. this is America and we can sue for just about anything.

And yes.. the product will add more minutes to your normal pre-woods ready time.. but not hours.. more like minutes. And wouldn't you want that extra advantage if it only took just a few minutes? After all we all know whitetail are most proficient with their (100 times better than human) sense of smell.

I know many on here can take a whitetail without the use of this product.. and I understand why one could. If you play the wind.. understand thermals.. and have lower educated whitetail.. you can be effective without the Scent-Lok or the 320 FPS bow.

But I guarantee anyone.. If you use the product correctly.. you will see a much much different change while in the woods this fall. Particularly with the predator population who smell 100 times better than the deer. It's an advantage.. nothing more.

Here is what has always baffled me. A guy spends a couple hundred or so on a scentblocking outfit, sprays down the boots and pack etc but does nothing for bad breath? I have been around a few hunters that have all the right gear yet you can smell their rotten breath when they talk or breath if they are within a few feet of you. Why isn't there more emphasis on that? The clothing market is a multimillion dollar deal yet there is a genuaine lack of breath control out there, haha.

Great observation. That's why SL advises a wearer to use the headcover always. The BIG majority of your scent comes from your breath and head.
The suits can not be as effective as designed when a piece of the puzzle is missing. I sell a 100 suits a year and probably only 50% of my customers order a headcover even after I tell them it is an integral part of the system. Maybe this is why so many say SL does't work.

BTW , duke, well said.

Yep, A Bow isn't much good without arrows.

Like I said Scent Control is an all or nothing game. If you go all out you will tell a huge difference. Scent Blocker is a part of my Arsenal I have No plans of giving up.

I do wear the headcover and have a couple of pairs of warm weather Scentlok pants. To me as long as I wash before a hunt with scent controlling soap, use scent free deodorant and spray down areas that are exposed I seem to control my scent pretty well regardless if I have clothing that blocks it. I also use a spray that ius supposed to keep my breath forresty

Magic... you must be a hard-core hunter! I'd wear air tanks and a re-breather before I'd go that far!

I sprayed the bottom of the boots ONLY to try to eliminate any scent being on the ground from my footsteps.Here's a standing offer to the makers or believes of scent "control" clothing. I'll bet a dog that can smell narcotics and expolsives through practically any fabric or material, ain't going to have a hard time smelling YOUeven if you are completely incased in scent lok.Who wants to go up against my my dog? Any takers? Scent control has nothing to do with Scent Loc or Scentblocker.
