Exactly! The term you used was perfect: slaughter. That's what they do, whereas this bunch tends to "harvest". It's a smoother process!!! LOL!!!

Welcome to the Forum!!!!! If the products are as effective as claimed..Then why not some sort of guarantee ??Say one like ASAT camo's ""See more game in your 1st year or we buy it back"" guarantee ..

Interesting comments about his topic......
I am also curious as to how long the scent blocker/scent lok clothes stay active for? Do they have a shelf life? Does over washing effect them?
I also agree about the smoker comment. My wife would not tolerate that one bit.
I was at a local sporting goods store today and picked up a scent blocker cold fusion jacket. Regular price was $270. I paid $140. Almost 50% off.......when I can find deals like this I will buy it everytime.

+1mossy Oak, I agree with ya 100%.. if it’s so much better than anything else outthere, guarantee it somehow…
+1for Jesse as well for the smoke process.
It’salways nice to see a manufacturer chime in on topics in forums. I just have acouple of statements again about this... Over the past several years it seemsthat S-L has changed their claim or verbiage on what exactly a hunter canexpect from their clothing line. If i recall correctly back in 2007 or even in2008, S-L lost in US District Court for false advertising by using statementsand slogans such as “odoreliminating technology”or “odor-eliminating clothing” without further elaborating on the clothing’sability to control odor. To me that sounds like your clothes do not eliminate scent!!! It seems you switched from thesestatements to these that were in your post previously; “Due to your good scent control practices and your activated carbonScent-Lok clothing” and this statement “So by using our products you will notonly see more deer, but likely have more chances at deer within effectiverange. If you weren't wearing Scent-Lok that deer would have likely gotten astronger whiff of you and would have never even stepped out from the thickcover.” So what exactly does your clothing do specifically????? You stated inadvertising for years it eliminates human order, well that was proven false, sowhat now????
I think everyone here takes their deerhunting serious, or they wouldn’t even be on this forum reading and talking aboutall aspect of the hunt, but the bottom line is practice good scent control byshowering before hunting (when possible) using scent free soaps and detergentsand some sort of liquid scent killer on your clothing.
It will be interesting to see if S-Lcomes back and discusses any of this, if they don’t you have your answer….
Oh the Amish comment was funny ashell.. I think if its brown they’re plugging it full of holes… makes me sickwhen I seem them in the woods…

This is about deer hunting not dear hunting. Who cares what they think when your after a big buck, besides the smoke smell washes off after a few good showers and even faster if you use some of their feminine products, that stuff will take the stink out of anything....rotflmao

Maybe it's no big deal to those of you with the libido of a 95 year old, but I still like a little nookie on a regular basis!
Do you put your SL in a tote at the end of a hunt ?
Do I put my smoked up cloths in a tote at the end of a hunt ? Sure do
So that only leaves a small amount of scent from the smoke on my body when I come in the house. Take a shower and hit the sheets. No problem.
If the shower doesn't take all the scent off and i want some nookie I just use my Dead Down Wind wet naps and wipe down with that. Drives the women crazy when they don't know what way your coming from.
I was once told that if you constantly fold or roll your AC gear that over a short time that ruins the AC in the suite ?
Ford, chevy, Dodge, I own them all. They all have their place. I have various brands of hunting gear as well. Shower, keep gear clean with scent free soaps, rubbermaid tote, change after drive to hunting location, etc. I also smoke up my clothes with the Scent Smoker. Does it work? I think so. Does SL brand work? I would say it is nice gear and couldn't hurt. I won't knock it, but I won't buy into it eliminating scent. Personally I think the law suit was BS and I don't think anyone totally believed it to "eliminate" human scent. It has already been said, but to each his/her own. I will continue to use every scent control practice I can (to include smoke) but I'll be darned if I go out and ignore the wind. I will ALWAYS play the wind.

Adam...They almost always go straight to the laundry when I get home. Some of my scent control are base layers so I don't strip down to my boxers when I get back to the truck.:smiley_coolpeace: I do store them in a tote when they come out of the laundry, no problems with cracking peeling or anything like that.
Oh...and the nookie thing didn't have to be that night, I was just meaning that if the laundry room ,which is on the first floor smelled like a campfire everytime I came home from a hunt, i'd be in the dog house on a regular basis. And I get the tote thing, but she still wouldn't appreciate it. Trust me.

I strip down to my base layers in the garage before coming inside. I have two pair that I rotate and they get washed after every 2-3 hunts. I take them off at the door and they go in an inside tote with my towels and rags that I wash in scent free detergent. All of my gear besides my bow stays stored in tubs with a whole poked in the side covered in duct tape, which gets smoked up before every hunt.
I shower, throw on my base layers, head to the garage and smoke everything up including myself. I wear my base layers to the property, then get dressed and geared up before walking back to the woods. I undress at the truck, throw all my gear in the tubs, and usually throw on a pair of jeans I keep in the truck before leaving.
The one thing I'm going to change this year, is making enough time to fire up the smoker out in the field instead of at the house. That would help with smelling like the cheeseburger I got from the drive thru on lunch break in my truck.
My Scent-lok has never seen the house or the truck. I actually rode home in my boxers one night after a hunt when I forgot my base layers. I was thinking "wow this is gonna look good if I get pulled over".
Like Phil said, to each his own. I think we all try to do everything we can to eliminate scent, but the majority of us still play the wind. All the little things add up!

I just told my wife to deal with it and now she deals with it. I'll be damned if I'm not going to try, or give up on an effective hunting tactic just because the Mrs. might not like it. Obviously some of your are much nicer guys than I am, that or your hunting priorities rank a little differently in your household than they do in mine. But that is an entirely different conversation!
Im with you on this one Jesse, when its bow season I get the jar from the mantel that my jewels reside in and keep it the entire season. The rest of the year she has partial ownership of the jar, I know better then to get too caried away, cause like they say the women have half the money and all the nookie......
HA! You're talking to the guy that held a $4K engagement ring in front of his future wife and made he promise that she would NEVER take issue with her playing second fiddle to deer season for the rest of our lives together! While sitting on a four-wheerler at the spot where she killed her first deer because "it was my favorite memory of us" mind you!!! lmao I wasn't fucking around either and she knew/knows it. I take very good care of my wife and I love her very much, but my passion for deer hunting runs deep and was engrained in me long before she walked into my life. Misguided youthful learning or just plain dickheadedness, but I decided long ago that no women, regardless of how in love I was with her, would get in the way of me pursuing my passion. Long story short, I'm not about to leave any stone unturned when it comes to trying/implementing new and effective tactics for killing mature bucks. If that means my wife hides the nookie for a while, I'm fine with it until I lose my right hand!!! lmao
I stay in good with my mife.............I want to keep my farm:smiley_bril: That and a little nookie every now and then doesn't hurt a man.
I think there is a large misconception amongst a lot of people about scentlok and scent blocker etc... I think a lot of people believe that if they wear it it magically takes care of all odor. It is meant to do one thing, keep human scent in. You still need to maintain the outside of the clothing, otherwise your wasting your time. I am not a smoker, nor do I ever see myself being a smoker. I prefer to take the no scent, no one around approach. I was winded one time last year, and it was my fault. I had worn my clothes and sweated in them several times, I knew better but was being lazy. In result, I was winded. I rarely get winded. THe way I see it, one time last year after how many hours in a stand? Thats not bad in my book. I have a very strict process that I go through, and it works for me. A lot of guys swear by smoking, if it works for them then great. I also believe there is a correct way to smoke up and it isnt completely fool proof.
Personally I would rather smell like nothing then smell like smoke. Thats just me.

Hey Jesse, I guess after everyone asked their questions of S-L and put them on the spot with questions and facts, they really don't have much to say.... Was their any doubt out there... I think it sucks when a bunch of good old boy here on this site just like talking bout hunting and sharing ideas have a manufacture pop in and interject noting but crap.... Oh Well...
