Is scent control overrated?

RE: Is scent control overrated?
Although I think scent control certainly has its place, I do think it is really a losing battle. I tried, and tried hard with the scent control clothing, washing, spraying etc, but I still got busted occasionally and I was still forced to play the wind. When it came time for new clothes, I finally decided being I am playing the wind anyway, I'm gonna let my hunting funds go towards other things that are useful or can make my hunt more comfortable.

I think a large part of scent control is wear you're from. If you're hunting in the middle of nowhere, at a place where the deer have never seen a human.....scent control might pay off...IF the deer is freaked out by the new scent he's come acrossed.
Most places however, in this day and age, have humans at least somewhat close by.

I think that even in such an area as this, deer are only less concerned about human odor when it is in aplace it belongs. When that human odor finds its way to these deer's bedrooms, their same natural instinct takes over.
