My reponse to this issue and Mr. Corrigan (THE CHEMIST)from last year.
Quote:
Well yes, this is something I take very seriously. Hang on this is a long but very informative post.
First of all, are you guys going to believe one guys “OPINION”?????? Do any of you know this guy??? Do you know his background or perhaps he has an alterior motive?? Maybe he works with or knows someone that is a competitor of Carbon Clothes? Perhaps he was a disgruntled employee??? I sure don’t the whole story behind him, but before I would base or switch my opinion of anything or form a opinion of something, I sure would like to have more data from a known source or at least have multiple sources. You guys have every right to believe what you want, but I have a feeling you “nay sayers” that are so quick to jump on his band wagon because these clothes did not work for you or your approach, might just be a little trigger happy to do so because of your failure. That is fine with me, that will just leave more deer for me. 
Bird Dog, I am in no way affiliated with any of the Carbon Clothes Companies, nor do they give me anything in return for my backing for their products.
Secondly, for those of you that have shot Deer “with a cigarette” hanging from your mouth or have Diesel Mechanic as your job. How many of those Deer you shot were down wind of you???? 
Is it possible these deer were up wind of you??? Kind of hard to smell you of they are not down wind. I’m not saying it isn’t possible that a deer was shot down wind from you guy, there are to many variables ( a deer being pushed, up thermals, a love crazed buck, etc), but day in day out having those odors is probably not going to get the job done.
Are these Carbon clothes for everyone?? Definitely not, I would only suggest buying them if you are seriously committed and willing to take steps others don’t. This is where you will see a big difference in the performance of the CARBON CLOTHES. Can it help the less committed Hunter???? Yes you bet it can help, but again day in day out you will not beat the deer’s nose. How many deer’s nose have you guys that are bashing these carbon clothes beaten the last year or two wearing normal clothes??? Again, possibly a few due to some of the circumstance stated above, but probably not many. I actually expect to beat deer’s nose just about every time. I usually know before hand if I will beat that deer’s nose or not, just on my confidence level of my scent protection. Have my clothes been recharged recently? Did I sweat on my way in? Do I have any equipment with that has not been sprayed down or scent free? I can tell you, I have beaten many deer’s nose in the last few years since I have started using Carbon Clothing. I would not hesitate to say 90% of them. Everything from a weary old does to mature bucks with a clear mind. Back a few years ago before I wore Carbon Clothes used to wash my clothes, hang them out to dry, etc, do all the things I do now and be almost as meticulous as I am now. I would not beat that many noses, but might get away for a period of time before they would bust me. Now, I follow a strict regimen of scent control process that is not just my carbon clothing, but that is a big part of it that allows me to go undetected and day in day out beat the noses from those weary ol’ does to those mature bruisers. This strict regimen is a real pain in the 
, a bit overwhelming and demanding but WELL WORTH IT TO ME.
As they say proof is in the pudding. I have a 176″ buck on the wall to prove it, and no I do not get JACK CRAP from Scent Blocker or Scent-Lok. If I did not have that group of does (down wind of me) by me for 15 minutes grazing back off the field edge @ 2pm. I would never have had my encounter with Mr. Big. He came in down wind of me and the does scent checking during the 2nd rut. I ended up arrowing that buck @ 15 yards. Not that much of a feat to beat his nose as he was love struck, but to have that group of does and fawns down wind of me that long and never even get a whiff of my scent is something remarkable. Was I able to do this JUST because of my Carbon Clothing?? No, but it was a big part of it and I know for a fact, I would have never of gotten that opportunity with out my strict scent control regimen and my carbon clothing. I have many other stories where I was under cover and beat the nose of a weary whitetails, but I want to finish wiritng this today.
These Carbon clothes work if you follow strict rules behind them. You just can’t pull them up and over you regular clothes go and sit and have deer down wind of you with out getting busted. As I have said many times on here. There is a ton of that goes along with these clothes, but having these clothes part of your arsenal, along with keeping everything Scent Free will help you obtain the ability to beat the noses of does and bucks. Taking a shower and washing with the right soaps, putting your scent free clothes on in the field away from your truck, not sweating getting to your stand, etc. is all a big hassle that most of us like to take short cuts or corners and then complain that these clothes do not work. Do these clothes work as well as the Manufacturers say??? In my opinion No, but they do work to a degree. How Much? Enough if preapred properly and if you follow a strict regimen. Do they eliminate Scent??? In my opinion, NO. They reduce the amount of scent particles that reach the deer’s nose, telling the deer you are a vast distance away, so the deer could care less and not be alarmed. But in reality you may be only 30 yards away.
One vital thing most people forget is their head and breath. The largest percentage of scent emitted is through your head and breath. They say up to 80%., yet most hunters do nothing to mask or eliminate these areas. I wear carbon lined facemasks and hats to help, but also brush my teeth wit baking soda and then chew the different types of gums that have come out the last few years. I still religiously hunt the wind, but will push then envelop when called for. However, we all know things do not always go as planned and deer do not always follow the trails we think they should be coming in on, for this reason I will still go through my strict scent control regimen and continue to both get close to mature deer and even more important, stay close to these bruisers. People have often asked my knack of harvesting or seeing big bucks. Well the above is it is it, “getting close to mature deer and even more important, staying close to these bruisers”. Staying undetected and not ever letting those bucks know of my presence in their back yard. This means while in the stand and also to and from the stand. This is where most other hunters tend over look or get lazy.
So if all of you want to believe one guys opinion and have no information on him or his credentials, his motivation or where he comes from other than he works with a department that is involved with carbon, and he is a “Biologist and environmentalist” feel free. I rather base my opinions on my own research and that of others that are proven in the industry. Next you might as well tell me you believe D-Norts explanation on the migration movement of Walleyes and that you can not catch them below the dam down by Everts in the Spring. 
To each their own, but I just think most of you above are a little quick “to point the finger.” Good luck hunting, be safe and may the “good book” be in your future. 
Again, nowhere or have I ever said that you need Carbon Clothing to harvest a Deer. I’m not saying you do. As we all have done this in the past. That is no secret.
