"Scent Blocker" a Gimmick?
 

Over at another forum I posted a question on "Scent Blocker" products. I have never use it and was interested how effective it is. Seems from the response "Scent Blocker" is a gimmick and is ineffective. Anyone have any comments on the product?

Save your money and use baking soda. I bought 2 scent blocker suits and both seemed
to loose effectivness after about one year.

I have a set of Scent Lok Savanah. I am not about to say it is absolutely fool proof but I have had many more deer downwind of me without getting busted than I used to.

Biggest waste of money in the scam filled deer hunter product market.

You would be better off spending your money on a "Deer View Mirror" [:o]

Use some sprays and common sense and your scent will be as minimal as anything else out there............and you will have an extra $400 left in your pocket.

It's a gimmick if you ask me (which you did kinda' when you posted this thread ;) ). Like others said...just use common sense and you'll be fine. Guys I work with kill deer every year in flannels, blue jeans, and a pair of work boots. They laugh when they see me spraying earth scent on my rubber boots...

I'm gonna have to disagree with some of you. Of course people have been killing deer for hundreds of years with out carbon suits. People today still kill tons of deer wearing gas soked boots with cigertte smoke inbeded in their clothes. It really depends o several factors. the first being the wind if you can get down wind your fine, but lets face it you cant always hunt a perfect wind. The carbon suit is the final layer of defense against a strong human oder hitting the deers sniffer or a sutile wiff. I've used the suits for 3 years now and know 100% that they help. Nothing will cure all but it works. If you follow the care instructions the suit will last for sevreal seasons. Use the suit in conjuction with scent nuetralizer, and no scent bath soaps and you'll enjoy more sucess!!

I'm going with what PYseeker has to say. I've had two suits, only because I lost 103 lbs. between seasons and the old one was a tent, and I think they give you an edge. It doesn't make you smell invisable but I think if the animal smells you it thinks you are further away than you are. I've been busted and I have been right on top of them without as much as a sniff or twitch. I have also been in a short sleeve shirt and shorts with a good dose of spray on everything and had the same results.

Money is for spending, and you are going to make some more next week anyway.

I have a 3D leafy scent lok suit and a ASAT leafy suit with no scent Lok. On my last trip to Iowa, I had 36 deer in bow range in 3 days. Most were downwind of me. I experimented using both suits on different hunts. I could tell zero difference between the two. If the deer were down wind, they knew something wasn't right.
