I’m unconvinced of just how effective scentlok is, if at all, and the process needed to ensure everything is scent-free could give a pill a headache. I agree with Dan that I hope they never find a way to fool a deer’s nose, as it really is in the spirit of hunting to learn how to deal with avoiding detection. I don’t know much about J.E., but in what I’ve heard and read, he comes across as dismissive, at best, and I can’t help but question his motives in the information that he does share. He’s clearly a great hunter, but it was strange that he blew off bedding tactics and wind, and yet, the tactical information that he does share discusses these heavily. I wonder if his hunting success has taken its toll and given him tunnel vision and made him complacent, which would be a shame, as the stand he’s taken on scent control is divisive, and in reality, he would fit right in here otherwise, as was mentioned in this thread. Was definitely an interesting listen.
Some people are just divisive and arrogant period...it’s just their personality and being somewhat of an expert on a given topic can really bring out the bad parts of a person’s personality. Not everyone of course but for some it does.
