that was definately interesting. it seems to me it's a load of crap after seeing the testing they did w/the dogs. but then again some ppl swear by it, who knows?

I've seen this video before and Some love the stuff others think its a marketing ploy . I think you still need to hunt the wind a deer will smell you any way . sometimes they are use to human smell and don't get alarmed when they smell it

I still beleive if you wash up with scent killers, cover yourself with carbon clothes, follow all the procedures, etc. you will have some advantage.

I'm not sure about a dogs sense of smell being "much better than a deer's". Maybe, maybe not. A deer's life often depends upon his nose. I believe a deer categorizes odors into either o.k. or not o.k. If not o.k., he's gone. To me the dog test is relevant (human odor is human odor period) and the whole scent elimination stuff is crap...just very effectively marketed to part you with your money. You think all the deer killed over the last century fell because of bad luck? Hardly. IMO, woodsmanship, hunting skills and common sense is your key to success...not gimicky stuff. Forget the wind, just hunt...P-L-E-A-S-E!!!!!!!
That being said, we live in a capitalistic society. Go for it ScentLoc or ScentBlocker. If I would have come up with this "scheme" I'd be laughing all the way to the bank. Use what you want boys, it's a free country.

i bought into it when i first started bow hunting.
now i just use the non odor shower stuff and the non scented laundry soap and try to stay down wind of trails and in the shadows. still see deer, and still get close too.
not saying thats scent lock will hinder your hunt but i now believe that it doesn't give you that much of an advantage.
just my 2 cents thou

This really a tough subject. After reading and seeing videos about how it doesn't work I still use it. In fact this fall while bow hunting on our lease, I was getting suited up and we got into a discussion about this stuff and if itworks or not. I believe that with all the testing thats been done it probably doesn't work, but I still use it. After that evenings' hunt one of the guys said I can see your stand from mine and I don't know if that carbon stuff works but you had deer everywhere around you, upwind and downwind. Of course I also totally descent with showers, soap, body wipe towels, scent free storage boxes, rubber boots and spray down before I hit the woods. I guess if it makes you feel more confident you should use it.

There is no better advantage than having little if any movement and playing the wind as best as possible. It's worked for hundreds of years and it's still free. JMO
