Scent elimination poll

[FLIZZ]

WOW! Never seen such close poll results.

I get a kick out of these guys who continually spew "I always hunt the wind and never have a problem".  You guys are really limiting your hunting or are   just kidding yourselves.  I have never fallen for the Scentlock crap.  I do, however take a ton of precautions to keep my scent sown or eliminate it as much as possible.  Coming from someone who has had deer and elk literally walk over the tops of my legs while sitting on the ground, some scent control products do actually work.  You have to go all out and not just be casual about it for it to be effective.  As far as Ozone.  I work with ozone in the bottling industry and it is extremely effective in killing bacteria of any kind.  Don't believe it, just drink a freshly bottled, bottle of water and see how far you get until you have explosive diarrhea.  It kills every bit of bacteria within your digestive track immediately upon contact.  The problem with ozone is that it has it's own odor similar to chlorine.  But it does dissipate.  Bottom line, if a guy like me who has that "old man" smell can use certain products and have deer walk right up to me from down wind, there has to be something to it.

I understand what ya'll say about Scent Lok.  i have had positve results.  they have a new collection of carbon alloy.
I also use underarmour.  it's also scent free and kills odor

Take ScentBlocker spray and a smelly shoe, smell the shoe, then spray the shoe. No smell.  When I wore a wrist watch the band would get smelly from sweat, one day I sprayed it down and the smell went away. As far as the spray, soap, pit stick and wipes they do work.

I picked the 3rd choice because I wouldn't say I don't believe in it but I've never used any before.  I use the wind.  I also hunt with rifle and don't need to get that close.  I just can't see how you can get rid of all you scent.  I watch the shows where they put it on and just can't see that their feet stay scent free all the way to the stand or your sweat doesn't come out and smell sooner or later.  Just my  But I've never tried it.  There are many places I hunt close to home that the deer are used to human activity also and have to encounter it all the time.  Rain is the best scent and noise control, I had deer at 5 feet that never reacted numerous times, almost been run over by deer, had my kids almost run over by deer, all without scent control.  It's a fun challenge!

Snake oil of the hunting industry.

If you hunt there is no way you aren't a stinky mess. No fancy spray will change that. Keep the wind in your face and save some money.

I bet a deer can still smell you. MUCH BETTER NOSE THEN YOU.

I did buy into the whole scent lok thing and have the entire outfit. I store all of my clothes in a scent tote and change in the field and spray down every time before i walk to my stand. I have had deer all around me all year. I play the wind as best i can but that doesn't stop all the deer from coming in downwind of me. I have not been busted once yet. Do i believe that scent lok works 100% no not at all. but i do believe that it helps. I think that every step you take to help eliminate your scent helps. Just my  but after having so many downwind encounters and having Zero deer alert to me being there i am going to keep using this method.

It might help to be clean and have your clothes in cover scent. I think if your wind is in their nose, you're busted no matter what you're wearing.

I use to be the type of person that hunter the wind, until a few years ago I had to walk with the wind to get to the spot I wanted to hunt elk from. BUSTED right off the bat right? Nope. My daughter and I wore one of those elk briskets (elk urine I think), and walked right up to a herd of 7 cows and calf's. 40 to 50 yards and not detected. I use the same thing deer hunting now.

Last year was the first year i wore camo and scent killer. and by camo i mean a full on leafy camo suit... IDK if it was the scent eliminator or the jumpsuit but shoot,, i felt invisible to deer last season.. I do hunt with wind but i had does and forkers walking 10 - 15 yardsfrom my honey hole...

Lucky, camo, or scent block i cant complain but the scent elimanotor cant hurt and i almost didnt buy it but im glad i did, im a some what believer.. i used Dead downwind 3d
