never bought into the whole idea. always tried to [play the wind].this last shotgun season was a real eye opener. my wife has been after me to teach her to hunt so i took her out , well she did everything your not supposed to do in the woods eating drinking talking laughing and we saw deer every time so now you can imagine how hard it is to take her with me . by the way the second outing with her we took a small buck

I used it for the first time two years ago. I bow hunt moose and just had too many good ones use the wind to end our fun. After purchasing my scentlock stuff, I put it to the test. I had a few bulls go directly down wind of me and not run. I was also using cover scent too. It was strange to see a bull continue to sneak in even after getting into my wind line. Anyone who knows moose will realize that it is all over once their giant nostrils catch your scent. I never had any really good chances to test it last year as all of the moose came in up-wind. I shall definately put myself in a situation to test it out once again this fall. The suit will be three years old by then.

Never have never will. My son bought me ascent lock head cover face mask that I wear
when it gets cold out. I put my cloths in a tub with earth scent waffers, works good,
plus I always play the wind.

I've never used it. I don't think I have any reason to. I keep my clothes in scent free or plastic bags, use the sprays, cover scents, rubber boots and hang my stands high. It seems to work for me. If the cost wasn't far off from regular camo, I wouldn't shy away from it. Every little bit helps.

Have never spent a penny on any scent block clothing or sprays.

Never have and never will. I can't justify the cost of a few hundred dollars on a suit that is only effective for a limited ammount of time.

Not worth it, not even close.

Everyone speaks of it as they must give their left hand and only child to buy it.

You can buy a liner suit for $100 bucks thru cabelas when they are on sale. Its really not that expensive.

Ok here is some compairson prices from cabelas.

MT050 gore tex pants. $139.95 W/O scent lok, $179.95 with
MT050 gore tex jacket $149.95 W/O scent lok, $189.95 with

So, actually its only $80 extra for the scent lok.

It usually adds $70- $100 dollars to an outfit to add scent lok.
