well I set out tonight about 3 pm to hit the woods, with all I have had going on for the last 3 weeks I forgot to wash my hunting clothes and had just picked up a brand new hunting jacket at wal mart, I had gotten some of the new Silver XP scent elimination spray with the colloidal silver to give it a shot, I have used every single scent elimination spray on the market since the very first one, I was worried that not pre washing my clothes would hurt me but I sprayed everything down completely with the spray and went in. I rattled and grunted in 3 deer 2 of which were bucks, they were on the other side of the ridge in front of me and I could see them over the top as they came into my calling. I though well here we go will see if this stuff really works like they say. Then I had a guy come tromping across the ridge at 5:20 pm and clear off some leaves and set down with a shotgun. Well with gun season being a few days away and it too late in the evening to squirrel hunt I knew I had a poacher in front of me. Luckily he didn`t see me and I kept still and quiet since he had a gun and I a bow, then I heard something come to me from behind and low and behold it was 2 dogs,, I thought great now they will smell me and start barking and alert the poacher, well they were under my stand and I was only 15 feet off the ground in my climber and then they moved about 15 downwind of me.....NEVER KNEW I WAS THERE ! ! ! they chased each other and then they spied the poacher and went to check him out,,ended up running him off at dark and I got out of there. I am sold on the Silver XP, to take a brand new jacket straight from the store and spray it down and 2 dogs 15 feet downwind couldn`t smell me? That sold me,,I highly recommend it to every hunter out there.
