Just to clarify one thing a deer's nose is more sensitive than a dog's nose.

The FOX Report is just one of many that have been done to raise serious questions to the many claims made by activated carbon clothing. As far as I can tell they just ignor their critics and hope that the majority of hunters just aren't paying attention.
Today the USPTO(patent office)posted their third rejection of Scentloks patent application (90007331). There must be some reason that the patent office continues to reject these claims. Could it just be that the product doesn't work as claimed.
NOTE: Provide one creditable carbon expert that will state that the human scent moleclue can be removed by the heat of a household dryer much less at 107 degrees as promoted by one manufactuer.

I think there is a lot more to it than just "if a deer smells you , you are busted!" I don't use scent lock stuff, I just use common sense. I work the wind, dress in clothes that I keep away from the household stuff, and shower/wash clothes with scent free products. I have had deer so close that I could literally drop my gun on them and knock them on the head with them not being spooked. Heck, one of the stands I hunt in is low enough that I had a doe actually sniff my foot and not run away. If it were so simple that if a deer smells you, it is gone than none of that would have happened. I believe the key is something the guy mentioned in the story and was mocked about. I think deer are "trained" to accept a certain amount of human scent as normal. I have had deer all over my property within feet of my vehicles, barn, house, and even the clothes line and they never run away until something else enters the picture. Something like me opening a door or window, a noise that scares them, an animal, etc...

Bottom line for me is that I believe they can smell me just about every time I go out and hunt, but unless I do something else to scare them like move, of if the smell is over a certain limit in their brain, I have a 50/50 chance they will not spook. I shot a nice 8 point buck this season that was down wind of me and he never even acted like he was nervous (until the slug hit him!). I just made sure that I was hidden, and didn't move quickly.

Ithink that by watching all these hunting shows, how can someone NOT be brainwashed into thinking that you are utterly invisible to the deer. Every chance they get they present some way of advertising their sponsors scent blocking techniques/products.

The population has exploded and is expanding so much thatmaybe the deer are accepting are scents and dont spook until that noise or movement that we make gets em running. I think that breaking your outline up and playing the windare the main factors here.

Scentlok is "a tool of the beast!" The corporate BS beast that is.
