i bought some scent blocker last year and I saw the most deer I have seen in one bow season.

So for those of us that do not use carbon clothing and have similar experiences with deer down wind, yes even when hunting on the ground, how do we explain that? It can't be the Scent Blocker clothing because we are not wearing any. Yet if we had it on, perhaps it would lead one to believe that the reason for not being winded was indeed the Scent Blocker/ Scent-Loc garment.

When I see the "professional hunters" on these programs one after another, echoing the Scent Blocker/Scent-Loc propaganda almost word for word, it causes me to just shake my head. As a child there was a wonderful story that I was told that carries with it life lessons applicable even to this day. Originally written by Hans Christian Andersen the jist of the story goes like this:

An Emperor who cares for nothing but his wardrobe hires two weavers who promise him the finest suit of clothes from a fabric invisible to anyone who is unfit for his position or "just hopelessly stupid". The Emperor cannot see the cloth himself, but pretends that he can for fear of appearing unfit for his position or stupid; his ministers do the same. When the swindlers report that the suit is finished, they dress him in mime and the Emperor then marches in procession before his subjects. A child in the crowd not knowing any better, calls out that the Emperor is wearing nothing at all. The Emperor cringes, suspecting the assertion is true, but holds himself up proudly and continues the procession.

In my opinion Shultz and Scent Blocker made a marketing decision and settled. It has little or nothing to do with the truth.

I don't believe any product can eliminate 100% human odor, but I do believe if you use them in a system they can greatly reduce human odor. Thus helping to some degree.

Has anyone heard anything about this?

Quote:

"I guess you saw the superior statement from Scent Blocker. That statement earned then a lawsuit in Minnesota. They essential laughed in the face of the court. On June 23,2010 a new lawsuit was filed against them im Minnesota District court.(0:2010cv02584)."

That's the problem right there, it isn't the suit, it's the tube.

Anyways how could you ever tell if "you've never seen more deer" if there is nothing to compare it too. You beef is with the tube. Stop paying to be insulted and turn if off. The suit works on the same principle as a chem suit and they work.

You wear rubber boots?

You use a spot hog? I've met the owner, if you've got a problem with SB you should really love that guy. How much is a hog these days?

Only if there is a heavy dew or rain so that my feet and cuffs will stay dry. I have proven (to myself) that rubber boots do not guarantee anything. Even if the rubber is scent free (fat chance), scent molecules will escape out of the top with each step (again proven).

More positive news for Scent Blocker. Works as claimed and even better that other Scent Elimination.

Highlights of Court Findings:

9). The parties further stipulate that Robinson’s carbon-embedded clothing contains substantially more carbon and uses a different application process than other carbon-embedded hunting clothing products currently on the market.

Robinson has produced evidence of expert testing that establishes that its garments containing activated carbon are effective at blocking the transmission of odor through the garments and the amount of carbon used and the process by which the carbon is embedded in the liner of the hunting clothing makes the odor- blocking ability of the Robinson products more effective at reducing human odor than other hunting garments containing carbon as well as non-carbon hunting garments.

10). *Robinson has provided evidence of expert testing that establishes that, after washing and drying, its carbon fabrics continue to be effective at reducing odor permeation.

11). *Robinson has provided expert testing that shows that after washing and drying its carbon fabrics are “reactivated” and such clothing is restored to some extent for continued beneficial use.

I find it funny that a guy start a post picks a fight a couple years ago, and someone else TTT's it. But I'll say this, if he weren't pictured with a little immature buck, he'd maybe have a little more credibility, however being pictured with a 50" deer ain't gonna make him look like a PH anytime too soon!!! :confused0024:

All activated carbon is is charcoal, hell you can buy a gallon tub for 30 bucks, just sew some pockets into your under arms and load up. But seriously the main cause of odor is perspiration and your breath, gum o flage and orderless deodorant take care of that.

It's a wonder how anyone ever killed a mature deer in the past....

Here a post from our male nurse Doug... Lets see your trophy room Dougie. I'll show you mine if you show me yours :happy0001:

SUCCESS!!!! My buddy got this little spike on his first ever archery hunt this morning!!!

I took my buddy out for his FIRST EVER bowhunt this morning, and he was excited as all get out. But he didn't realize how exciting the morning would be. We were hunting from the ground in a pretty thick area and we bumped a couple on our way in. But I told him we needed to be patient, I got us to the spot I'd intended on setting up, and had him under a little overhang of brush that blended him in real well. We'd been sitting there not 20 minutes when a young buck (spikes not quite 3," THANK GOD!!!) meandered in. The little fella just kept walking in and in and in, my buddy was shaking and I could see him breathing as I was set up behind and to the left of him not 8-10yds away, and as the little buck finally his a clear shot lane at about 20yds, he steadied the cross-hairs and eased back on the trigger and "THHHHHHWWHHHAAAAACCKKKK!!!" Man, that arrow hit that little fella so hard it damn near put him on the ground right there. He wheeled around and and ran about 75-80yds to his deathbed. We sat there for a half-hour or so, even though I heard the little fella go down, just to see if anything else would come through, but after half an hour, we could neither on wait to go check the little fella out. He was so excited and filled with adrenaline it was amazing. He believes he is indeed "HOOKED" on bowhunting now. I assured him it doesn't always happen this easily, but knowing we both were in need of meat, I figured this spot would be sure-fire if anything would!!!!! And I was RIGHT!!!! Here's a pic, sorry, not the greatest, I didn't realize his eyes were closed. Oh, and for the record, he has a compound bow on its way, but he busted this little fella with a crossbow shooting a Barnett Quad 400 (my loaner bow that I'll let anyone that want use) and a 20" Easton 2219 arrow with a 1.75" Wasp Jak-Hammer. The shot was a slight quarter-to, and he hit him just a little forward of the right front leg, and broke the left front leg in a big way on the way out. Arrow was lodged in the deer in his left front leg and snapped off as the little guy ran by a tree and I did end up loosing a BH. What a great morning, and there's now about 50# of meat in my fridge that wasn't there yesterday. We would have gotten more meat out of him, but his shoulders and neck were a WRECK because he bled in due to that arrow be lodged like it was.
