    John Eberharts Scent Control

    I am a solid example that Johns scent regimen works. I did an article in Michigan Woods and Water magazine recently with before and after pics. I’ve shot all of my biggest bucks, including a 171 inch public land Iowa buck, without one thought about wind direction. 4 pope and young bucks and just...

    David Ferianc before and after properly using ScentLok

    I understand your point, however I think you’d be surprised at what shows up in a previously thought of mediocre hunting spot, when proper scent control, saddle, and entry point/time are practiced. That being said, you are correct, if the mature buck doesn’t exist, it’s pointless. I personally...

    Would you take this shot

    I like this idea! That’s something I might’ve done! Thinking outside of the box is always helpful in a unique situation. I always carry one field tip (junk) arrow with me.

    Quitting Coffee for Season

    I stop drinking coffee but it’s not for scent control (and I do believe in scent control).... I stop drinking coffee during hunting season because it triggers my “#2” response lol! I hate getting to my stand late or worse yet, getting there early and all settled in and then I have to climb down...

    John Eberhart - Scent control regimen

    Likewise, I’d like to think I’m being helpful when asked questions about ScentLok or scent control in general. I read John’s material and it made a monumental difference in my hunting success as my before and after pictures will show. (See ‘David Ferianc before and after’). John’s mission is to...

    David Ferianc before and after properly using ScentLok

    *Sidenote* John Eberhart’s methods alone would include ScentLok and a saddle so actually that changes one of my statements haha... Anyway I reread my last statement and caught that. You have to have the willingness to actually follow it as closely as possible and I believe that’s what separates...

    David Ferianc before and after properly using ScentLok

    If I stopped using ScentLok today I guarantee I’d kill less mature bucks, period. ScentLok allows me to go places i wouldn’t dare with regular clothes. I’m not afraid to set up right in a bedding area, or in a river bottom where the buck sign is rich but the winds are unpredictable. Read the...

    David Ferianc before and after properly using ScentLok

    I’ll probably not get to all of your questions on this reply but I’ll hit a few. I’m trying to put myself in your shoes and see what I’d do in the Deep South. I would definitely take advantage of any days that were below average temps in the early season. Get myself some good rain gear and hunt...

    Thanks Swampsnyper! Cool name too

    David Ferianc before and after properly using ScentLok

    Well, first of all, that response I gave was specifically for the person I was responding to otherwise I would have posted it on a separate reply to the entire thread… I happened to already know (because he said in his post/reply) that that particular person lives in the same state as me which...

    David Ferianc before and after properly using ScentLok

    No, it’s not too warm for early-season if you just wear a light weight layer of under armor or something underneath it. I literally had on a under armor T-shirt and my underwear during the early season this year and worked fine. The nice thing about the coveralls is that you can roll them up...

    David Ferianc before and after properly using ScentLok

    Thanks! I hunt all over the place so those bucks are from multiple counties in MI and multiple states. My two biggest Michigan bucks coming from Kent County though.

    Almost makes you want to keep it a secret doesn’t it?! Great bucks man. Those of us who know can never be convinced otherwise! Thanks for sharing! -David

    John Eberhart - Scent control regimen

    @MJH and @Ontariofarmer, I bring an empty scent free tote bag with me for used ScentLok that needs reactivation or drying. This way you don’t contaminate/soak any fresh ScentLok that’s in your clean tote and you’re also not leaving it out to absorb other unwanted odors. When you get home, dry...

    David Ferianc before and after properly using ScentLok

    I don’t think John nor I are trying to convince “everyone” but I also don’t believe the success of others not using ScentLok negates the testimonials of those that do. If you have a public land honey hole or own private land or any one of several exceptions to the rule, God bless you, you are...

    David Ferianc before and after properly using ScentLok

    @SkylineReaper and Kurt, I’m David, the guy in the before and after pics. If you were only going to buy one suit, it doesn’t matter which one you pick as long as you use it properly. Pick the pattern that best matches the majority of cover you hunt in. The face and head covering being really...

    John Eberharts Scent Control

    Read the article John Eberhart just posted on my behalf entitled “Joining the Swinger’s Club”... I adopted John’s scent regimen back in 2006 and have never even looked at wind direction since. I’ve also killed all of my biggest bucks since then. John has a wall full of proof as well.
