This video is interesting. Provided all the appropriate washing and spraying was done before the test was run.

Hmm, cant beat a bloodhound.

hounds actually learn to follow crushed vegitation and other traces that are left behind...

(i had police k9 officers put on a demonstration with their K9s for a search and rescue class..thats what they said...YOU dont have to smell..your crushing vegitation, fibers of clothing, rubber from shoes wearing off etc leaves a trail)

i watched one of the K9s follow a trail an hour old, POURING RAIN, across a mowed grass field, through a decint water puddle(not DEEP but water puddled in the grass for 10yds or so) and keep its nose on the track as the track zig zaged in the field...when it lost its straight line it circled and followed it in the right direction like it never lost it...then located the party that layed the trail in the woods after the guy passed through 2 small thickets and 50yds of forest...an hour old track..raining for hours before, the whole hour the track laid, and while the dog tracked...it was amazing...those dogs dont need human scent...

My dad doesn't have a cell phone, whenever Ma wants him home she sends out Clem the Bloodhound

I thought dude was going to have a heart attack half way through[&:]

True, but Mythbusters Tested the scentlock suits by hiding the guys in wooden boxes throughout a field. It took the dogs less than a minute to circle down wind and figure out exactly which box the guy was hiding in.

Mythbusters has tested it, Dateline NBC has tested it with German shepherds and I am sure other shows have tested it as well. The military has tested it. Independant scientists have tested it.

All come to the same conclusion in that it does not, has not, will not eleminate your scent.

The only folks that stand firm that it does work are the people that manufacture it, the people that get paid a lot of moneyto wear it,and the people that have paid hundreds of dollars for it (and some of these folkshave figuredout that it does not work).

Come on guys, quit it. Haven't youheard the saying "Don't confuse me with the facts, my mind is already made up'."

All you have to do is research the subject on this forum and you will findthat it does indeed work and it is backed up by SCIENCE.

Ahh hahh! Just what I thought. Hunt the rightwind.

What I find so humorous in this test is the inability of many people to realize and understand just how sensitive a bloodhounds nose is. It's roughly 40 times better than a human and contains about 230 million olfactory cells. It can also track down a single skin cell.. something I am afraid to tell many in here (for fear of breaking there hearts) is much MUCH better than a whitetail.

Sorry to say it. But it's true.

The video and experiment have no control. It's simply a bunch of dudes out hiding in an outdoor setting and hopefully they followed directions. Then one of the worlds greatest animals with the nose track them down.

The best part of the entire scent lok debate is the opposers of it. Who claim you can't eliminate (which means 100%) scent with the SL suit.

The even better part of the debate is the guys who use SL say.. "you are correct you cannot eliminate all your scent". It's all about getting rid of as much scent as possible. They believe the best scent is no scent.. and they will try to achieve as much as they can.. even if it's a small percent or just enough to buy them time.

Besides I think we should all just light up.. smell like an exhaust pipe and play the wind only.. cause thats a much better option.
