Snake oil is all it is. Never bought into the science or idea of scent blocking clothing.

On Tuesday, the fourth and final day, 57 hunters participated and killed 11 deer.
On Monday, Dec. 7, 70 hunters were let onto the reservation. They killed 12 deer.
The Blue Hills includes parts of several south of Boston communities like Quincy, Canton, Milton, Dedham and Braintree.
Most of the deer killed during the hunt were taken over the course of the first two days last week, leading to a total of 41 at the time.
I have had on two seperate occasions does walk within 5 feet of me. I was in my orange vest and hat wearing a green double thick work sweatshirt and tan caarhart pants. No scent blocking at all. Sitting still is the key.Snake oil is all it is. Never bought into the science or idea of scent blocking clothing.
That's how folks up north all hunt, jeans and a flannel shirt. They are usually gun hunting and if the deer is close enough to smell them, the deer is already shot or has got a pass by the hunter.
If you're up in a tree with a bow, I still wouldn't worry about all the scent free cloths, but I'd suggest clean scent-free dark clothes so the deer will come in as close as possible for a good shot.
So much for the slaughter.
