Also not mentioned is the fact that a GOOD dog will not only lock onto a persons scent, but also the smell of the broken grass where your boots made contact, as well as the fresh earth scent from the disturbed soil surface where you step!The scent lock MINIMIZES human scent, it does not eliminate it!

A search and rescue or Schutzand dog, will, but a GOOD Bloodhound wont. The are trained to only follow the scent of a specific person, barring everything else. This is called scent discrimination. I can take twenty different people out to the woods with me and have them fan out and she will only track the person whose scent I give her.

Thank you for sharing this video. Reinforces my doubts about Scent Lok.

The MythBusters television show ran a similar test but with even more strict standards in “de-scenting” the target. Full body wash, Tyvek suit, respirator mask, really sealed up the runner – didn’t faze that bloodhound either.

The take-away for me is better woodcraft and wind analysis rather than depending on gimmicks.

I think you have done a service for consumers in sharing this information.

@HuntersHeartTeam Not to mention hes only wearing base layers

Okay so if a bloodhound is after me i wont bother with my scent lok, but it cant hurt, and you need every advantage in the deer woods

To everyone saying the guy sounds out of breath, have any of you ever walked a bloodhound locked on to a scent? My puppy is a workout in its self when i take him for walks in the woods.

I've read that a bloodhound's nose is far better than a deer's, does anyone know the stats on that?

I've been involved with tracking dogs since 1967 first in vietnam and later with police tracking dogs and combat tracking in the USMC. This is a very good video proving that human scent cannot be masked. There are things that I could add but since we still have marines in the field i'll remain silent.

@JCrain03 Yes to all questions, Showered with scent free / scent killer soap, washed clothes in the scent killer detergent, clothes placed into an airtight plastic bag, put on at the start of the trail to avoid any contamination from the pickup truck ride, wore rubber boots. All clothing, boots, etc was sprayed down with the scent spray. The only thing he didn't do was worry about breaking twigs, as the dog trailed him one full hour later. The dog doesn't look for or listen for snapped twigs.
