Scent-Lok & Scent Blocker are both excellent...never go bowhunting without them. Might want to consider a oversized 3-D leafy suit to wear on the outside, tough to beat for good all-around camo. You can pick them up for under $100.

Like some of the others said Camo patterns are not as important as being quiet and still. Scent control is to your advantage also. All camo does is help to break up the human form.

Vikingvictory, ASAT is going to be your best bet from Spring gobblers right through to late season archery and if you don't want to invest in scentlok clothing, scent killer spray will miniimize your human oder. Check out www.lenartz.com and inquire about thier 3D camo in ASAT, you'll be able to slip this outfit over any style clothing from warm weather early archery to your thermals and scentlok suit.

ASAT is your best bet. This in the ONLY camo pattern designed to fix the problem of being seen. Rob knows, he’s an ASAT believer. He doesn’t use all that “designer” camo, that’s nothing more than artists renderings of what they think camo should look like, not what has been proven to work through over 10,000 hours of true field testing. We like “No-Odor” scent control made by Atsko, the “Sport-wash” people, again, because it works, and then Essence of Fall by Natures Essence for a cover scent.
Send me your name and address and I'll send you a free hunting video and you'll see what I mean. I can also e-mail you some photos of how it work if you'd like. E-mail me at the below address. Thanks

I like 3-D suits. They break up your outline better than regular clothing. As far as colors go, deer species see in shades of grey and yellow and they are ultraviolet sensitive, so I keep from putting to much stock in color patterns, but I do make sure I use uv killer in all my hunting clothing and I never put them on until I am out in my hunting areas. I carry them in scent free bag. If I wear something on top of my scent lok liners, I store it in pine bows. In the early archery season all I wear are two scent lok liners. When I bow hunt on the ground, I always cover my eyes with a little see through flap I have sewed on my scent lok head cover.

Scent-lok and the science behind it is sound, and I won't step in my whitetail hunting areas with out both of my liners on after I have washed and sprayed down with "vanishing hunter". Is the scent lok worth the money. YES IMO! In the past 5 years since I have started using it, I have killed at least 1 mature buck (120-140) class each year at less than 20 yards. I have seen many more including couple a big boys that I could not get a shot on and three of the harvests came from my mock scrape lines. A mature buck won't tolerate mock scrapes that smell like human odor. I also wear at least one scent lok liner and rubber boots everytime I scout and video in the off season.

Bowhunter magazine did a test last year between scent blocker and scent loc and the scent blocker came out on top as far as their tests.
I just bought some this x-mas so i cant tell you if it works yet.

I like predator camo fall brown and spring green, also like advantage for the late fall after leaves go down and early spring. Mossy Oal all though it looks nice to wear i believe tends to "blob" to much. Everything I've read about camo and personal experience says you need alot of light tans etc in the pattern to break up your outline more effectivley.
