My hunting partner smokes and we get covered in outboard exhaust on the way out to our hunt area. We are seeing in the neighbourhood of 6-20+ deer over usually about seven days of hunting. This year, maybe not so much considering our tough winter. Watching the wind is the biggest factor in scent control, not some BS marketing…

Just my personal thoughts. The above is what I suspect many overlook when going to extreme lengths to "eliminate" scent. AFAIK it is impossible to eliminate all odor….scent molecules. More than just Field and Stream have tried over the top test to fool blood hounds…all fail.

A Whitetails nose>>>>Bloodhounds, sniffing dogs who can detect even the tiniest traces of explosives buried within air tight containers, filled with coffee beans (masking)….

A whitetails nose is sensitive enough to not only pick up even the slightest, wee tiniest molecules, but also separate from them all others. So even if, you eliminate 99.99999%…..that 0.000001 is too much. Your busted.

And we constantly emit, drop those molecules. So the minute, the very second you touch those clothes and transfer them from the dryer to the air tight vault…busted…..then take those clothes out of the air tight vault, put them on and start walking…busted. Unless you want to build a stand that is more hot tub, than stand and sit in a vat of vinegar for 4 hrs…..busted.

Buy your clothing for fit, form and function.
Not fancy camo patterns
Not "scent blocker"

What's going to keep you comfortable, dry, safe and is designed well with pockets, zippers, vents and articulated so material doesn't gather and pinch while trying to still still for hours. (if you understand and appreciate technical clothing) to accommodate doo dads, widgets, gidgets, smelly gum, candy, snack bars, and even smokes.

read up on layering. Theres layering and theres effective layering.

and then play the wind.

And with respect to "cost" for X or Y.
How much good is that $1,000 bow, with $200 sight, and $20 arrows and $300 range finder doing you when it's too cold, wet miserable and you'd rather stay home…..Or you pack it in and go home because your feeling the chill... doing you?

Near as I can tell, no $500 or $1,500 bow has ever killed a Whitetail while its in the vault at home. Forget the bows that stay in closets when its raining and -2 to +1, or its -10 to -20 and the winds howling.

How much good is the $200 range finder doing you and $400 in other gadgets and scent eliminating products doing you?

We have no problems spending a lot of money of the tools of the trade that do us no good when…... Yet we skimp on the most important. The stuff that allows us to go out when its miserable, stay out when its miserable..and worst case…..get home to tell the tale.

Save your money and hunt downwind, no such a thing as no scent unless you zip yourself up in a plastic bag.

Then u smell like the plastic bag.
