My question is this. How would you know that it was working? When i'm 30' up a tree, with the wind in my face, and the deer comes in from downwind, i know the deer didn't smell me, but i don't use scent free clothing,scent killler sprays, take a bath every morning, and i don't have one of these gadgets. I hear people always say, well he came in down wind and the reason he didn't smell me, was because of my scent control. I don't use any scent control, other than sure deoderant, and i have deer come in downwind of me all the time. It's called thermals. Hunt high and hunt the ridges. Scent rises, i know it falls somewhere, but i can't control that. I also know, that there's nothing manmade that can control my scent well enough to fool a deer's nose. If there were, drug smugglers would be using it to fool drug dogs. Deer have more scent receptors on their nose than dogs, which means, they have a better scense of smell. Dogs can find drugs, wrapped in plastic, submerged in a gas tank. How in the hell do you compete with that? You can't. Deer smell chemicals in molecules of scent in a way we'll never understand. How does anyone know, if a deer can smell the scentkiller sprays that some use? Just because you can't smell it, don't mean squat. Be a good woodsman. Hunt the wind. Don't over hunt stands. Don't hunt stands with marginal winds. Know your woods, like the back of your hand. Hunt as much as you can, but remember, it's quality hunting, not quantity hunting that is the key. Lastly, know the travel routes of the deer on your property, and change it up from time to time.
