Scent-lok versus Scent Blocker: Whats the deal?
I’m new to bow-hunting. I’m used to tree stand hunting with a .270 and it didn’t matter about scent. I’ve killed many deer wearing regular camo. This is my first year bow-hunting. I’m going to be in a ground blind on Oct 1st. Whats the deal with scent technology? Is it that big of a deal in bow-hunting? If so which is the better brand? I’ve been looking at some Scent Lock “Savanna EXT.”
If it is a major part of bow-hunting how did guys like Ben Pearson and Fred Bear kill so many just wearing a flannel jacket?
Edit:
Dumdum,
What about a groundblind? If I’m in a blind I can’t stalk to use the wind. What would you suggest for that situtation?
If you have the money to invest in the high dollar stuff go right ahead.It can’t hurt at all to have another method of scent control besides the wind.But if you play the wind and hunt downwind of game you can smell like a skunk and still be successful.That’s how Pearson, Bear and many others did it before anyone ever head of wearing clothing that reduced or eliminated scent. I will limit out every year if I wish to- sometimes I will hold back on the last day of the season to fill my limit and on that particular day the deer may not co-operate and I have to settle for 5 instead of 6. And I have never used a scent blocking suit or garment of any kind.So it is not a requirement for you to buy it to be successful.
