[QUOTE="aspenbugle, post: 692703, member: 6481"] I wouldn't say they are worthless - but you also don't have to spend a lot of money. I've proven the worth of scent control over years of bow hunting (not quite so worried during rifle season). I mostly bowhunted elk, and just used elk urine (beautiful smelling stuff) :) Pretty cheap for a bottle. I wouldn't slather it all over like aftershave - but put it on my hat, some on the clothes and/or little scent things like on quiver etc. I also used the unscented soaps (just a day or so prior) and tried to keep hunting clothes in a bag with some pine branches and stuff - definitely didn't sleep or cook in them. I've done it both ways - makes a huge difference. Yes, you can try to keep the wind in your face, but good luck - out west it swirls so much. I've had elk down wind and also 10 feet from me - and never scented me - just using elk urine, avoid scented soaps and camp/human smells on my clothes. I have a friend that would change his whole diet 30 days prior to avoid scent in his sweat - I'm not that nuts about it. I just know I've been able to watch the elk, with and without it, and not just guess why they did or didn't bust me. The scent control (my cheap version) made a night and day difference. To each his own though... [/QUOTE]
