I agree heartily. In fact, though it is highly underpublicized, studies have demonstrated decisively that scent control suits do not work. Period.
Our only source readily available source of information on such questions as scent control is advertising and hunting magazines, a redundant statement since hunting magazines are advertising. They'll lose a lot of ad money if they publicize a scientific study that has found that scent blocker suits do nothing, zip, zero, to prevent bloodhounds from trailing down a person.

Thank you WKP ...I was lucky enough to take this buck while on a hunt in Alberta back in 2004 ... he is a very unique buck and was aged at 8 to 9 years old ...with only 4 teeth left ...here is a better picture.

Nice Buck DD...I noticed you said you killed it in Canada. Did you kill that buck with an outfitter? if so, what was their names?

Just thought i'd put in a little something i have learned. One thing witht the wind is that it will never blow in a straight line. There are down and up currents. if your unlucky enough to have a down current near your stand. there will still be a chance to get winded. The only way i have found to try to detect this is to get some bright colored yarn from the crafts dept. and pull a bit off and let it go. The problem i see with the dusts on the market is that they dissapear to quickly. Just my 2 cents proly not worth alot though.

Scientist say it is uncomprehensible for humans to understand exactly how good the deer's sense of smell is.
It is their number one defense mechanism, period!
If hunters don't understand or believe that to be true, they are making one terrible mistake!
