Very informative answer, were you in debate club? I'm guessing by your sarcastic attempt at answering the question, that you don't have a reason as to what was twisted about it either.:eek:

Homey, this ain't a game. Its real life internet forum battle. :D:D:D

RE: How I hunt the wind
 

So are you sugesting that everything advertised that has a scientific study to back it up is for real?
I bet the salesman and the infomercial people just love you. LMAO

From the Wildlife Research Center own website
*stopping over 99% of odor is based on actual lab testing using replicated human odor.

Maybe that qualifies as real and absolute to you............again LMAO

I make my living in science. I am a large commercial cattle feeding operator. We measure performance, which ultimately dictates the healthiness of the bottom line, in increments of of one tenth of a pound (that is 1.6 oz) in efficiency as it relates to feed conversions and average daily gains.

If I used every feed additive and growth promotent that a salesman came by and backed up its effectivness by a scientific study done at a major university, I'd surely be broke.

That is why in the "real" world, we field test these products "in house" to make sure we are getting the same results that they claim from their contolled lab results (andI might add that they paid for).

Also, keep in mind that companies are notorious for only publishing the trials that show the results that they want to advertise. They may have done six other studies that didn't show the results that they wanted and never publish or disclose those.

But hey, what do I know.I guess a lab test using replicated odor paid for by a company that calls itself Wildlife Research Center is all any of us should concern ourselves with. Thats science if I ever saw it.

Thanks for putting me in my place, scienceboy. (sarcasm)

Like I said.........Don't play dat game......

Dubbya after reading your last post..

I think he was saying he takes 0 chances with a deer's nose. He just does not play the odds when it comes to a whitetails nose. This is how I read it.
Agree with Gregh, I also agree with a lot of other points made also.

I am a huge believer in scent control, IMO it cannot hurt and I have seen it work.

Jack:

Come on.....I was eluding to your "field" claims v. those of university scientists......and how they might be skewed, based on your preconceived notions relating to the product at hand.

While I agree with you on your assessment of "some" scientific "claims"........we're talking about a handful of hunters (who, admittedly "think" the product is bunk) v. university scientists.

You gotta admit.....there's some disparity, somewhere.....or some wool being pulled over some people's eyes by "one" group (blinders, even!).

To say these products work 0%......I "think" is being a little naive, dontcha think? That's ALL I was eluding to.....and I'm sorry if the wording offended your professional status.

Genius Germ.

GregH, I wasn't trying to be nasty or argumentative. I can understand that a lot of this has gotten under your skin, but that was not my intention. I guess all I was trying to say is that we can all get better and none of us should think that we can't learn more.

I also wasn't picking apart your old signature. I liked it and thought it was informative all by itself!

RE: How I hunt the wind
 

Could you elaborate? How high up are you? Is it at the top of a hill? Are the trails very close in? etc
