I’m sure I’ll catch flak for this but here it goes. I think both Hunters are awesome in there own right, but you can’t tell me that your scent control is eliminated with ScentLoc when your 30 ft in the air. Which he admits is his common height. I do agree that the ScentLoc reduces your scent if properly worn. I think overall that wind is the deciding factor. I’m no big buck slayer by any means but I’ve taken my fair share of deer and 90% with a bow. The only time I’ve really ever seen deer disregard my scent is during the rut and that’s still no guarantee. I’ve had deer that have been down wind that never spooked but I think that was luck or a fluke. I think I would much rather hunt based on conditions than be the “ boy in the plastic bubble”. I’ve tried the scent control religiously when I started out. I see as many if not more deer by playing the conditions and being smart about other factors “and that’s still no guarantee!” Good luck to all no matter what method you choose.I've found it interesting the comparison between Eberhart and Infalt when it comes to scent control. They both consistently kill monsters. Eberhart seems to put scent control as #1, whereas Infalt seems to almost ignore it completely and only works the wind. I've seen a few of Infalt's hunt videos where he's wearing what I assume is yesterday's T-shirt, and I'd be willing to bet he had not even showered or brushed his teeth that day
And they both consistently stick the big ones. I just think it is a noteworthy comparison in their styles. And it has begun to shape my choices in both scent control and working the wind.
