I always use fresh cow pies to mask my trail if they are available, best cover scent I have ever used on my boots

Same here! Between cow pies and smoke I feel my odor is masked enough for movement to my spots. Great for unplanned stalks

I get the reply that you cannot fool a mature deer's nose, however if you reduce your scent by any means
or product that can make your presence appear further away that you actually are the better.
I wonder if you ask Mr. John Eberhart about using scentlok clothing, and tell his he is wasting his time & money
he would probably laugh in your face. Believe what you will, I will be practicing strict scent control.

I use Dead Down Wind it helps but so does showering and I do use scent Lok and watch the wind .
Be aware that DDW has a shelf life (I assume all those sprays do). I tested some DDW several years ago and it was not removing odors like onion on my hands and a few other "sample odors". I contacted DDW and it was they that informed me of shelf life. I would be wary of buying it from certain stores or other sources that may have old stuff on their shelves.

How long of a shelf life do they have ?

Haha, but I do apply it under my arms and on the front of my pants. But it’s helpful ,and we have killed several 150”-170” on public land with deer directly down wind. You can’t always beat the whitetails nose, but this has been the most helpful cover scent we have used.
Hope this helps some of y’all kill some more deer this year.

you put that stuff on your clothing?... that’s pretty hardcore. Does it stain?
