That is, after all, the goal. I was honestly a bit offended that someone would question my conclusions, but I had to remind myself that we often do not know each other beyond this forum, and it isn't worth getting worked up just because someone who has never done something doesn't believe that I or others have done it and are doing it regularly.
There is no reason to get offended, it was discussion about a topic that I have done research on. To say I have never done it is a false assumption on your part. Remember Im from Michigan, met John years ago and followed his advice. I even took it further by not eating meat for 3 months prior to season and of course during season. I stopped using cologne for those 3 months as well. I didnt have the same experience of bust free hunts. On the other hand Ive had deer not bust me doing nothing, just some things you cant explain. Jim Brauker is a true believer in minimizing his scent signature, wears at least 3 scentlok garmets each hunt, purposely bathes and uses carbon dust on his skin, Im sure you have seen his video I posted. HE goes above and beyond Johns routine, including worrying about where he steps while getting dressed. He still gets busted, has video of it. He says the suit leaks, you cant stop 100% of your scent from leaving. If your having better success than him, more power to you.
Here is a video I made using my cell phone. I was walking out turkey hunting and saw a group of deer and made a couple turkey calls jokingly and stood still. No scentlok, no nothing. I wasnt even next to a tree. The deer licks me, I cant explain it, can you?
