HUNT WITH THE WIND IN YOUR FAVOR...PERIOD!!!
It doesnt work,and even if it did,just too many things to smell,breath,skin cells,etc,to get by the nose of a deer.But I can understand that feeling of trying to give yourself the best chance,since you cant control wind shifts.

don't think it worked on day one if your talking about scent supression.
the Camo is probably pretty effective, have hunted in blue jeans back in the day though

I have used the stuff for many years (Scentlok/Scent Blocker) and still do... I'm not sure if this stuff really works but is does smell just like the scent killer sprays that we spray on our clothes to reduce scent.... I find it kind of interesting that all the big sporting good companies still sale and have for years, considering it doesn't work.... I always get it on sale so it doesn't cost me much more then buying the same coveralls or rain suit without it.... I guess if it gives me a mental edge, then I will keep using it....

I've noticed that I seldom get ticks when wearing Scent Lok. When I'm doing early summer scouting, I wear scent lok pants and a Base Slayer shirt, head cover and hat. Even with just the Base Slayer shirt on, I'll seldom have more than 1 tick on me in areas that are incredibly infested with ticks. I've wondered if the carbon affects their ability to see me?
