More About E3 Field Applications |
 Does it really work? Without citing volumes of scientific research or trying to make you an expert on enzymes or microbiology, we would offer you decades of documented proven performance not just in the hunting industry but a wide range of odor and bacteria control products. Yes, for more than twenty years enzymes and the technology DDW utilizes has been well documented, science based and proven to perform exceptionally well clearly demonstrating enzymes work even in the most difficult odor control environments. For more than two decades, enzymes have been used in the medical field for treatment and products related to bacteria control and odor. They have also been used in feminine hygiene products. Perhaps one of the most challenging areas has been in septic and wastewater treatment on some of the worst s--- they could find (literally) to break down fecal material, control or eliminate odor and to treat wastewater for a safe release back into the environment. The use of enzymes is dominant in the septic and wastewater treatment industry today. In fact we believe you will find more factual evidence, more real science on the effectiveness of enzymes in odor control and bacteria control should you care to research it yourself than all of the other products combined. Case closed!
We stress that ScentPrevention™ is much more than a one step one product solution although E3 is viewed by many to be one of the most important applications and depending on the circumstances can offset a multitude of odor sins. For the best results using E1, E2, and E3 together yields maximum protection. The NEW Evolve formula covers a wider range of odors than any other product we are aware of and isn't just a cover up or antimicrobial product. We might question the effectiveness of cover ups. If you investigate how a whitetail or most big game noses work, you will find they interpret up to 7 different odors simultaneously through the cones in their olfactory (smell) system. Since a cover up doesn't claim to eliminate or prevent human odor, the question remains. Does the whitetail or animal detect both with their ability to separate, detect and process multiple odors simultaneously unlike the human nose? At Dead Down Wind, we can't find the science to support the claims that a cover up prevents a deer from detecting the human odor it is trying to cover. As a result we do not produce a cover scent product. We encourage you to do your own research or draw your own conclusions. In the meantime though, we recommend you rely more heavily on scent prevention.
Why doesn't DDW produce an Earth Scent - Acorn Scent etc. - Most of the scented products we are aware of are intended to be cover scents. We have never seen a defined set of criteria for a single earth scent. Bogs, pine forests, different soils all have varying odor signatures. We think natural and organic material odor signatures differ from synthetically or chemically created odor signatures. We are not yet convinced one shoe fits all or that one type cannot be applied in every situation. The reason DDW doesn't produce an earth scent even though it has been requested by both retailers and consumers is the same as our position on cover scents or products that currently available science doesn't support. A deer's nose or even a rat's nose can detect 1 millionth of a gram of urine according to the research and studies we have seen. And they can do that while processing other alarming odors at the same time in milliseconds. We are not convinced hanging additional products with separate odor signatures benefit the hunter. Our goal is to reduce odor signatures with Evolve not add more to the equation. We even take that a step further in our accessories category. DDW produces a Totally Odorless Oil or other products to insure a hunter has as scent free environment as possible. A hunter and their weapon are inseparable. If you are using a rifle that you cleaned with Hoppe's #9 or some other high odor solvent, we would ask if you are offsetting every other precaution you have taken to eliminate signature odors that alarm a deer causing them to explode out of the area. So you might say we are advocates of less is better not more. Less odor of any kind that are not normally found in an animals normal environment. Reduce or eliminate odors rather than introducing more. Is it better to have only the odors the animal is normally exposed to, comfortable with and would normally encounter in their natural setting whenever possible? We think there's less risk in that approach. Is there a possibility that introducing a new chemically created odor puts them on alert if only because it's not normal? Every hunter will need to make that decision for themselves. |
