Don't takes this the wrong way, but having a MI 1.5 year deer as your test is not very good one.
I have walk right up to them, I have thrown my quiver at them in NE LP to get them to leave. Start knocking down mature deer on year to year bases with a bow with your tactics and then I will listen.
Which is why burniegoealily is a guy I respect and listin to about products and tactics.
We are hunting two differnet animals, nothing wrong with that at all.

RE: scent lock clothes in the store
I find it funny watchingsome huntingshows likedrury outdoors (they endorse scentblocker) and hear them say things like this while hunting "if that buck turns theother way he will wind us for sure".
Wait a second...I thought you didn't have to worry about getting winded if you are wearing a carbon suit! They say forget the wind
I think a lot of times when people who make claims of deer not winding them even though the animal was downwind of them it may be due to other reasons than carbon suits.Why do I think this? Because thesame thing happens to people who are NOT wearing carbon suits at times
For instance when hunting in the morning while the sun is risingthermal currents can carry your scent over a deer

Two types hunters buy scentLok
1.AHunter looking for every advantage he can
2.AHunter looking to help cover up his poor hunting methods
To say it does not work for some, and does for others is pointless. More about hunter than anything.
I know guys who buy the best and fastest bows and still miss, and then I know guys who shoot the slowest most beat up bows I have ever seen and never miss
You know I watch a realtree comercial this weekend, Bill said I would vanish.I put some on, and to my suprise, I was still visble to my wife

I agree. Ive got buddies who spend$100son scent loc,and have less success than I. They get a false sense of security and dont realize that most of ourstink comes from our mouth. Play the wind, and save the money.

To each his own. If it helps, and you are a good hunter, great. I have found little use for them, but if others like them, no problem. Im a fond believe in the notion, "hunt the way you want. Its no bodies buisness. If it makes you happy and secure, thats all that is important". Im just putting forth my oppinion, nothing more. What is my oppinion worth? Well if you take my oppinion and 50 cents, you can get a cup of coffee. Not at Starbucks though.

RE: scent lock clothes in the store
IMO this stuff works. It's not the cureto all scentcontrolhowever.I've always been real careful with my clothes and taking scent free showers before every hunt.
I can honestly say that I have NEVER had ONE deer wind me in the 2 years I have been wearing Scent Blocker.
So far this year I have experimented with wearing it on some hunts and not on others. One morning without Scent Blocker I had 4 deer come in downwind and bust me..the next day same stand, same preperation, just with my Scent suit on and different results.
I always make sure everything I wear has been washed properly and sprayed down with Scent Killer, I wear rubber boots, and only wear my last layer while driving my truck to my hunting spot. I use Scent Blocker as another tool in my arsenal, and not as the answer to all scent stopping problems.

Also, if I remember correctly there were a suggestion to wash the Scent Blocker outfit after I bought it and to leave it to dry outside. I could be wrong, but I thought that is what I had to do.
