Thirteen-year-old Harvests First Buck with Help from ScentBlocker

Thirteen-year-old Sam Gernaat had a day to remember last fall. Sam was able to harvest this beautiful buck with the help of ScentBlocker.

“My teacher at school, Mr. Herbert gave me a bunch of ScentBlocker stuff to try out this fall. I washed my clothes in it, took a scent free shower, and sprayed down with the spray he gave me. Not long after the sun rose, this buck tried to walk by me. He was directly downwind and didn’t smell me at all. I waited till he passed to draw my bow. I drilled him in the ribs and he didn’t run far.”

Congratulations Sam! From all of us at ScentBlocker we’re glad you use our products and we can’t wait to see what you shoot next year!

It sounds obvious, but behind the scenes of every technical product at Robinson Outdoor Products LLC is a history of exhaustive use, abuse and in lab testing. We start with an idea, a need, and then seek out the finest fabrics, materials and formulas and start exploring design solutions to meet the need. Our advanced product lab tests materials, compatibility, performance levels and effectiveness scores with crucial data, but the final step is most crucial. We head into the field, because real world hunting needs can’t be solved in the lab alone. Such full-on testing often exposes details that might otherwise be overlooked. For example, designing hood or headcovers on a mannequin in the office is one thing. Until you climb up a high placed treestand and pull it over your head and try to draw a bow and shoot that you realize your vision and draw is compromised when that chance of a lifetime walks out. From this in-depth field-testing we have developed some of the most unique details and benefits that go into our products. Offset main zippers for clean shooting, diamond crotch gusset for a resistant free climb into a treestand, Silent Wrist Ratchet Body Lock for on stand adjustment, Gearpendent Technology for minimal movement while reaching for gear, Zip-off removable arm guard for non-restrictive shooting, tree harness slit for integrated attachment, perfect fit, function and the list goes on. Honestly, it's an evolution of understanding more than anything else. It's years of experience and many days, weeks and months of sitting in the tree stand, on the stalk, in the bottomlands, on top of the mountains shivering, sweating and soggy moments figuring out what something really does and why and what we can do to make it hunt better.
