Default May be we should

Maybe we should use the bowhunting contest to compile some statistical data to help settle the scent lok argument. Just to keep it simple we could have categories like no scent control, full scent lok with full scent control measures, full scent control measures without scentlok and then determine the % of hunters in each group that kill a buck and the average gross score of the deer killed by the hunters in each group. Just an idea.......

You mean an entire experiment with no control.

Gee that sounds great. Wonderful in fact. That should solve it once and for all.

Heck.. while we're at it.. let's throw in our bow manufacturer's as well.

I've always wanted to see who sold the bow that gets the most amount of deer taken. Then I can buy that bow next year!

Awesome!

That would not work right, the people with out scent lok would smell the place up for the people wearing scent lok. Think about it.

Great Idea. Maybe we could include other stats like:

What Bow did you use?
Did you pay attention to wind?
What type of tree stand/blind did you use? (ladder, climbing, etc)
Time of kill (morning, mid day, evening)
Type of calls used (grunts, bleats, rattling, etc.)
Did you use any scents or lures?
What state were you in?

I'm sure there are others that would be interesting to see as well.

What is there to settle ..... It don't work . It takes a much higher temp to reactivate carbon then what a normal dryer can reach . And then you do hit that temp your garmet will burst into flames

It's a known fact, Bowtech 360,that more big bucks are killed every fallby Baptists than any other religious group.

They're prolific hunters.....but wouldn't be caught dead making love while standing up. Someone may mistaken it for dancing.
