I am mixed on this one Todd. I believe you 100%, simply because I have been following WKP long enough to know and from personal correspondence between us I am convinced you are not like other hunting celebs, you will only use products that work and that you personally want to use...not for sponsorship. Part of me wants to give it a whirl but the biggest part of me feels that I would be taking an element away from the hunt. I know they don't eliminate 100% however I wonder if eliminating their greatest defense take the sportsmanship out of it. Food for thought, what is your opinion?
It's interesting that hunters try to do everything they can to control scent but if they really could I kinda feel the same way as you. Would it be an unfair advantage? Would I feel the same sense of accomplishment if I got a deer this way? I'm not sure. I guess it's a personal decision. If someone else used a product that totally eliminated scent I would be alright with it. I don't know if it would fit my hunt.
Im with you guys in the fact that it would be a sad moment in deer hunting if the tables were turned on the deers nose... But I think the magic pixie dust folks would run to the stores and buy it, and I think they way out number us. So we can sit back and not go along and watch them kill huge bucks and brag about there skill or go along with it... Not sure what I would do.
Agreed, and I am not against those who use it, just kind of a hang up for me. On the other hand, I am not trying to produce two shows with two men in the tree. So Todd please don't feel that I am attacking the idea. On the flip side I have to ask myself if I am battling pride by not wanting to take this route. At the end of the day, I think it is more the desire to hone my skills and the excitement that comes from the unpredictability of it all. I have thought about purchasing an Ozonics unit just for deoderizing my clothing. Sure would be nice after a long day in the tree to not have to empty out all my stuff and wash my clothes then wait for the stuff to get dry. The additional sleep at night being ready to rock the next morning seems worth it to me. Even if you don't practice stringent scent control you don't want to be out there in clothes that smell like a bag full of bums
