Don't know about the living room, but in the bed the dog cuddles up to me and sleeps. If I break wind, she will jump up, give me a disgusted look and go to the other side and sleep with wife.

Yet nothing I said was incorrect. People of the idiotic statements in this thread, don't even have a counter argument to my "expertise."Annnnnd you are??? An anonymous "Expert"???
Funny how that that works…when you're right.
How do you keep yourself from falling over???
It must be miserable walking around with such a huge noggin!!

And you STILL can't argue any of my "expertise." So you resort to semi-personal insults. That's how intelligent men act.How do you keep yourself from falling over???

You have literally defeated yourself, while simultaneously wasting bandwhich. Something else an intelligent man does. Obviously.
You asked who am I? I'm right. That's all you need to know about who I am.
You've offered no relevant information to this thread. You have no counter to any information put out, and apparently, you're mad because I don't care about your buddy Brent's guiding career. Or him rambling about touching animals back in whatever date. That information was like if I was to PM you and telling it what time it is. You wouldn't care.
So tell me..what's your "expert opinion?" What do you know that voids the rest of our experiences and makes them irrelevant? Or are you one of the people on here just to talk $h!t as a way to escape their own useless sad life, and offer nothing in return? Are you just here to waste peoples time? Or do you have a something relevant to say?

You asked how many actually hunt. Another jab at the folks responding. It was an attempt at humor and education as I didn't take personal. It was supposed to be light hearted and I don't see a bunch of idiots claiming the stuff eliminates scent etc. You just got on your high horse and made it personal for some moronic reason. Chill out and let it go. I think everyone knows you have to play the wind. It's personal preference on how much butt you wish to smell while out there.

Sorry folks, this thread has outlived its usefulness. I'm hitting the bs button and leaving it. Shame, it was pretty good for awhile.

I'm not actually offended, I'm just saying as he was on his holier than thou crusade. I had no problem with you, I even lol'd at the kissy face. I get it. You want to see me not be chill…come to sniperhide. I was eating a pizza.
People won't get called idiots if they don't say idiotic stuff. It's as simple as that. First stone or not I was prepared to die on this hill.
The statement of wondering if people actually hunt, rhetorical. I wasn't looking for resumes. Saying/talking about it online is taken with a large grain of salt as it should.

Just a thought, predators in the wild stink and don't use scent eliminator products. You can learn a lot from the real professionals/experts.

It's a good point. It's interesting that predators don't strike the fear in prey like humans do. I'm sure you've seen coyotes walking around deer and elk. Ive seen wolves do it to. Human scent sure changes the game.
In my opinion, as long as we are breathing we can reduce our scent, but never eliminate it.
I'm not a self-proclaimed expert, but I have (successfully) trapped for 40 years and archery hunted for 37 years. Even with extreme scent control measures, there are some canines (foxes and coyotes) you simply cannot catch in a trap because you can never completely eliminate human scent. (I met a rancher in CO years ago who set his coyote traps from his ATV - never setting a foot down - to minimize odors.)
In hunting, I rely on wind direction and thermals to get close to animals. Period.

"Eliminate?"
Anonymous, I tend to read/listen and gather insights and experiences from others prior to weighing in. Rather than referring to them as idiotic. Which is what this forum is primarily aboutAnd you STILL can't argue any of my "expertise." So you resort to semi-personal insults. That's how intelligent men act.

Certainly not mad about what you do/don't care about. Doesn't concern me in the least. But I as well as others I'm sure do value Brent's input. I've never personally met the guy, but I've read a lot of his posts on bowhunting wolves, and that is impressive to me! Most people have a hard enough time getting within rifle range of wolves. So to compare that kind of experience to your "current time" analogy is apples to oranges.
As far as my "expert opinion" I have none. I've never claimed to be an expert lol that was someone else
My opinion is that playing the wind/thermals is first and foremost. But if there's a 0.001% chance that a "product" will reduce/eliminate human scent and you've got the $$ for it I say use it.
Use the expensive clothing, the sprays, the wipes, the cover scents, the ozone generators. Whatever! There's no end all/be all solution in my opinion.
If nothing else maybe it gives a little more peace of mind that you're doing all you can do.
I will however disagree with the comment: "Reducing it doesn't matter. If you haven't eliminated it"
Any reduction in scent would be a good thing right???? (again not an expert here)
I could see it having little effect on a final stalk perhaps with the wind blowing directly to the animal, but to me the narrower your scent swath is the better off you'll be in general.
Reducing scent might do little to nothing for a stalk with bad wind, but will do a world of good for your hunt area as a whole. A little stink is better than a lot of stink!
These opinions have not been validated by an expert, and are solely my own.
Side effects may include: not running everything/everyone off the mountain, getting closer to game, game remaining in your general area, and not smelling like a goat.
If no such side effects exist please consult with your doctor (local expert) because you're doing something else wrong! Experiences may differ by user.
WHEW!! You really swung for the fences there at the end
Have a great day anonymous
