Ok, I have some close friends that won't use it, cool. I have a close friend that talked me into trying it (he also brought his over to get the cigarette smell out of a used vehicle I bought & it really helped). I said ok, I'll try it. I am going to be as neutral and fair with my ONLY 2 hunts here that I experimented/trialed the product.
All I did was take a scent-free shower and wore scent free clothes that have been hanging outside for 5 days. I got straight in my golf cart which I cleaned with scent-free stuff. Brushed teeth with baking soda, etc. Just did the things I feel are AVERAGE and standard and didn't do anything that's obviously a no-no (smoking, gasoline, beef jerky, etc, etc).
I sat 2 nights in mediocre areas that I did NOT expect a big buck to come to BUT a place where I knew many does would come to. These are TREESTAND spots I won't hunt when it's "good" and I didn't mind screwing them up. I purposely set up where my wind would briefly go over a trail they use to come out to feed and once they are feeding, no wind would go in their direction. *Also, I followed directions to a T and made sure this product was used exactly as directed.
The 1st night, I had 8 groups of does come out containing between 1 and 3 does. The 1st night totalled about 16 deer roughly. Every single deer did NOT make it past the wind-lane or area of wind drift and ZERO deer made it to the food source. Every single group (sometimes only 1 deer got me) smelled me, blew or bolted out of there. Not one exception. Last night I went out for 2nd time. 10 deer total got down wind of me, they had passed by me upwind thankfully and I could have shot them all, as they got down-wind, each deer proceeded to either bust or blow. These were 3 different groups of deer totalling 10 deer. Not one of the ten got downwind and calmed down or stayed in place. All the deer busted and were 300 yards away within 30 seconds.
This is my 1st trial with a TOTAL of 26 deer that came downwind and all 26 were alerted and did not get past the scent area. This is only 2 hunts. Thus far, I have had zero success with this product. This is me trying to be FAIR, HONEST, NON-BIASED & FACT BASED. Yes, I have some scent covering stuff I "dabble" with for fun BUT I also use many other products and actually have varying success with many others. I fundamentally always play the wind and don't think ANYTHING is 100%. I am doing my best to leave my opinion out of this though and purely pass on my limited experience. I will make a couple more attempts and I am bringing out my video camera to document the experience going forward. Just my experience, in NO WAY am I saying this is hard science, fact or proof, this is simply the honest experience of 2 hunts and 26 deer. Good luck all!
