Scent Lok

Me too. Bought some on post-season clearance 5 or 6 years ago before I knew better -- I have no faith in it now. Stupidest thing ever is scent lock / gortex clothing. You rejuvenate carbon with heat and you can't put gortex in high heat without ruining it. One thing I do believe in is earth-scented cover sprays.

The main thing to do is always play the wind. Deer are going to smell you no matter what if they are downwind. You'll always have unique situations where a deer comes in downwind of you but you never know if other factors are influencing that (Ex. rising thermals). Heck the biggest buck I ever shot was this year and he came in downwind of me.
I travel 3 hours to where I hunt so I keep all my hunting clothes in a tub, mainly for convenience but it also helps that I don't spill anything on them during the trip. The only thing I do is wash my clothes in scent free detergent and spray down with scent killer before I head into the woods. Seems to work pretty well.
I bought my first pair of scent lok pants this year. They were marked down from $229 to $60 and the only reason I bought them is because they were a heavier duty camo material than all the other camo pants I have seen. Anytime they are marked down that much you know they aren't selling!

Take care of your stink and go up to deer in the dark, they won't freak out because they can't see you. Movement is the killer.
