Sounds like another gimmick to part you from your money. A gin and tonic would do just as much, and then yer breath would smell like pine needles.

But, I would prefer to use a Texas made product.... TITO'S HANDMADE VODKAThat's some good stuff! With a little tonic water and lime... at least that tonic water will take care of the malaria Of course now.... GUM-O-FLAGE is made there in Wisconsin!

Can you say "WASTE-O-MONEY?" Try brushing with baking soda or un-flavored toothpaste. It will work better. Spray some scent killer in your mouth...its non-toxic and basically just saltwater. -Sloppy

I'm old school hunter,Scent free Soaps , good ole camo "Real Tree Hardwoods" , good stand placement "wind in your face", H S Scent Waffers"Earth Scent", Fitzgerald "Deer Dander", and some good ole patience and me and Mr. Hoyt will let the air out of one.
Gum o Flage NAAAAAAAAA! waste of money, I dont wear that carbon suits, or any of that other stuff, There makin it more difficult for the new hunter come in to this sport. The expense will scare off the new hunter, "High Tech" what happen to good ole smarts and alittle luck. I was taught know your game ya huntin, sorry everyone it just gettin too much BS products out there, whats next "Lazer Guided Arrows" or "GPS Guided Arrows". Some Stuff is just a waste of money and it scares or confuses the new hunter out there. I was watchin a show on the outdoor channel and the stuff this guy was doin was so dang rediculous, every hour usin scent free ordor fightin handie wipes, continious srayin of odorless carbon spray, not countin the other crap was goin on, heck with all that movement and noise from sprayin and wipin himself he mostlikely scared off the deer, and some new guy who never hunted is interested and seen that "Holy *%$@*^" ,I seen that no way , the expence would scare alone . For me, I mean For Me, less is best, dont need all that stuff, ya carrin half of Bass Pro Shop with ya, Less is best.

Arkansasdon... Partner, I'm there with ya on this one! All this hype about carbon this, scent-lok that... the ONLY way you can become "scent free" is to wear a rubber CBW suit that covers you from head to toe!
As long as you can breathe... you cannot be scent free! Lot's cheaper and more effective methods are out there.... I use cedar branches more than anything else.... fresh MEADOW MUFFINS work real well..... ground up acorns or pecans.
People spend hundreds of dollars on gear.. when all they really need is what NATURE PROVIDES!
I do put out deer scents around my stand as attractants, and that's about it.....! Those techniques have worked for me for over 40 years!

I bag out just about every year, some decent buck I may add for Arkansas, and them older does sure know and smart, I've taken a few of them too. Cedar limbs are the best and heck I'll stur up the ground and expose the earth before I climb up the tree with my climber. The stuff these companys sell and come up with......................Thanks , I'm old school hunter without all the high tech stuff and still believes in known your game ya huntin

Now that's a good idea! I agree w/ AKdon, know your quarry, nothing will replace knowledge, if one puts all their faith in gizmos then there is a chance there is some compensating for inadequacies, But on the flip side if something like this helps you build a little more confidence, and it doesn't break the bank, then i see no harm in using it, confidence is another aspect of hunting that is underrated, but don't rely on gadgets or gizmos to be the source of your success. i've munched on an apple in the stand, i use my "Clean and Sanatary" knive to cut the apple in half and take out the core, then cut it into bite size pieces, very little noise.
