I believe in the scent elminators VERY VERY VERY MUCH!!!! I believe you need to be as clean and as scent free as you can get. having said that- YOU CANT FOOL THE NOSE OF A DEER!!
I use Scent-loc and I know I have killed alot of Deer because of it- They will still smell you but in a small ammounts- think it makes them believe you are farther away then you really are.
Again- You need to do what works for you- it works for me!!!
