Just thinking. The only ones who say it works are the ones that have tried it. BTW, I made a couple of calls to guys that have used it. Since I evidently have more $ than brains, I'm gonna buy one just to try it out.

Do I really need one? Probably not but I also don't need the safe full of guns that I rarely shoot, way too much reloading gear and too many tackle boxes and rods/reels.

Done; maybe blew $179.99 but that's not really all that unusual. I'll give my experience during bow season.

I know of a guy that swears by it. I wouldn't pay that for it though.

Bow season starts soon. I'll try it then.

So you are reduced to ad hominem attack to represent your position? Excellent logic.

There is no evidence to support that deer have the ability to sense bioelectric fields from other animals. There is no evidence that deer use bioelectroreception or bioelectromagnetoreception to avoid predators of any sort. It really is that simple. The case from HECS that since some animals can orient themselves with the magnetic field of the earth and hence can sense the bioelectric fields of other animals is spurious at best.

What if it does work? Let's use that, Ozonics, and Scent Lok, and we won't even have to hunt anymore.

This op asked for people who have used the HECS to post their experience with it. The OP stated he was skeptical and wanted to hear from people who have used it. Yet you two, along with others seem to feel the need to raise an awareness of being skeptical about this product.

Then you insult or belittle the posters that posted about their experience with the HECS. And your surprised when their reply gets personal?

.......or maybe your not surprised and this is the reply you were hoping/trolling for?

It came in today. Read the documentation and found: "Used in conjunction with good camo and scent control, and assuming you keep noise and movement minimal, HECS can make a significant difference to your hunting success by allowing you to get closer to game." Well, all that makes sense. Thinking about it, I have no idea whether my electrical signal has ever spooked anything. But, I'll give it a fair test and see what I think.

LOL, so if you do the stuff that a really good hunter does, the suit will work? This begs the question as to how really good hunters manage to do what they do without one of these suits.

You realize that says less than nothing, right? It actually comes closer to saying it doesn't work than it does by pointing out you have to do all the other stuff, and then it CAN (not WILL) make a difference. Maybe. Which also means it also can NOT make a difference.

That is all straight up flim-flam con language.

I hope you enjoy how the animals act different while wearing this suit. only those that have tried and used the product can only truthfully critique the product. do not listen to the so called know it all's.

The best of luck to you. I don't think you will regret it.

OK; tried it this weekend. Sat about 25 yards from a feeder. I was behind a fork in a couple of trees. 3 young, a couple of 2 year olds and a baby, bucks came in and ate. At first they were nervous because, I assume, it was about 150 yds from the house and 2 pickups were there. I had the wind in my favor. They settled down and started eating; obviously not knowing I was there. I shot a spike with the XBOW.

Did the HECS work? Would the situation be the same if I wasn't wearing it? I don't know. I'll have to try some more to get some more experiences. Had they left, I would have said that it didn't work. I'll try some more and report back. So far, I know that one instance doesn't mean a whole lot but I am kinda encouraged.

I know of a guy that swears by it also, I don't know. I do use scent lok, but I buy it when it's on sale or discounted. I mean I have to wear camo so why not scent lok? I'm a big believer in playing the wind and always hunt with the wind in my favor.
