Secrets of the Pros Segment 1

It’s important for hunters to know that most big game animals depend on their sense of smell for survival over all others. We should also know that human odor is the granddaddy of all alarm smells in the woods. That being said, we need to educate ourselves as to how these smells are created before we can being to overcome them. In this eight minute segment, led by Robinson Outdoors President Scott Shultz, learn the science behind how human odors are created. Among others, Scott discusses human skin regeneration, perspiration, dietary odors, and glandular odors. Also watch David Blanton use his knowledge of scent control on a memorable “hang-n-hunt” in a thick river bottom. Hunters need to understand the challenges they face, and implement an entire system to overcome them. This video segment is sure to get everyone on the right track.

Robinson Outdoor Products

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.
