Has anyone else used this... I went out for the first time this year tonight. Pulled the clothes out of the closet which hadnt been washed since last season  . Got to the woods and sprayed this on. Seen seven tonight, six does and 1 small buck. 4 mature does were within 25 yards of me downwind and didnt have a clue I was there. Not a salesmen, just stating that the stuff seemed to do the job |

This doesn't impress me enough to make me want to run out and buy some. If the manufacturer really wanted to make big bucks and take the scent control world by storm, he would post scientific data to support the claims made on the bottle. Unless of course, he has none.

not trying to sell the stuff to you. I was just stating the experience that I had with it. You hear people say that they were busted all the time, just saying that the conditions were in the deers favor and 4 mature does were clueless.

All you can do is your best to conceal your scent. I've experienced it all. Sometimes you get winded when you think there's no possible way and at other time's wind can be blowing right at a mack daddy and he'll walk right in with no care to the world. I beleive alot of this "CRAP" on the market is just that.( Fancy marketing). Bottom line is if you have had success with a product then I stick with it. Play' n the wind is probably the best stratagy and even that does'nt always work. Wash cloths often with baking soda and air dry out doors.

I use the scent blocker sprays and soap they sell at Walmart. I put all of my hunting clothes in a garbage bag after washing in non-scent soap with a fresh earth scent wafer for good measure. When I get ready to go in to the field I spray down with fresh earth spray and usually have a fresh earth wafer pinned to my jacket. This evening I was in stand with the wind mostly out of the southwest. I had a basket rack eight come in from directly down wind like they are supposed to and start eating acorns for about 30 minutes, coming as close to a few feet from the bottom of my stand. He would look up at me every once in a while, but had no clue what I was. He definitely didn't smell me though, and I felt good about the job I had done covering up scent. Hard telling if an old doe or mature buck would have reacted the same way, but they would definitely have been in range long before they smelled me.
