ingwe my buddy showed me a TV show were they used a peanut dog against some ultra high power pressure washer. They set out a few rows of plates (not sure how many but if I remember right 4 or 5) in one row one plate had peanut butter on it. They pressure washed it for a few minutes (again I don't remember how many but I believe at least 2 minutes). Once all the plates where set up they brought out the dog. It went thru the rows and then went back and went right to the plate that had the peanut butter on it. Pretty amazing

Yep. Lowest " Threshold of Detection" on record was from a study at FSU in 2005
Amyl Acetate was detected down to 1.09 parts per trillion.
That was from a giant Schnauzer�a dog not normally noted for its scenting ability. Another dog in the study, a Rottweiler ( also not noted for scenting) was measured down to 1.14ppt.
You can't even wrap your brain around that�.least wise I can't.

I don't own one and probly never will but I did use a buddy of mine once. I was sitting in a double bull blind on the edge of a 2acre clover plot. The sind was blowing about 5mph straight from me over the food plot. We actually setup like this on purpose that day just to see if the thing worked. I had 10-15 does and a 3.5 year old buck in the food plot all evening with my scent blowing directly towards them. Had some as close a 10 yds. None of them ever acted like they smelt me. So yes I beleive they work,BUT I don't believe they are near as effective in say a treestand where scent isn't kind of contained. I think they are very effective in a semi closed blind. This is just my experince so take it for what you will. Like I said I'll still probly never own one just due to the price.

A kid at my sons school had a pot cigarrete. The drug dog went down every hall and stopped at this locker. Opening it up they found a pot cig in the jacket, in a plastic bag wrapped up tight. If a dog can smell that , those deer will smell you they walk across your path. In a blind those deer might not have smelled you, or it smelled further than it was or they smelled you and didn't see enough danger to care. The blind seems to help a lot. I will bet A wild animal can smell better than any tame animal too.
But the fruits of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness,faithfulness, Gentleness and self control. Against such things there is no law. Galations 5: 22&23
