Post by: wood carver 2 on October 11, 2019, 04:28:35 PM
Does anyone here hunt with a Hecs suit?
I'm thinking of getting one.

yeah i do, i got mine late last season. so far this year i 've only hunted a few times with no sightings so i can't be much help. i know that some of the videos on youtube make them look like the greatest thing since steel broadheads but so far i can't verify any of that,sorry i couldn't help any more than that ,good luck whatever you decide

What's the reason? Electromagnetism or e fields?  Use wool problem solved

Yeah wool doesn't charge up like all the nylons and synthetics.

Total gimmick IMO..
Good woodsmanship will put you within range of any quarry. If your close enough for an animal to sense you electro magnetic field (which I don't believe either) then you already put yourself in position to be successful.
I've had deer literally within feet of me while sitting on the ground wearing carhart coveralls that I had worked in all day and they never knew I was there.

Deer....other mammals, birds, etc that you might be hunting for do not have the ability to detect weak electromagnetic fields nor do they have any specialized sensory apparatus for such. Sharks and a few other animals do have the ability of electroperception...and have specialized organs or cells for that. Our common prey...do not. Most animals do have the ability to perceive the earths magnetic fields in a general way for a general sense of direction.

Case in point...I have had my cellphone in my pocket (lots of weird electromagnetic radiation and wearing "normal" hunting gear)....and deer close enough that I could have literally reached my arm out and touched them; they might have died of a heart attack if I did (don't think the state recognizes this as a legal take method) or they would have kicked me to death.

Just another gimmick to take your money.

I remember the first time my dad took me hunting like it was yesterday. I was 10 or 11 and on the way to deer camp we stopped by the super store to get our license. While waiting in line I'm looking around at a shrine of sparkly gadgets and gizmos to the likes of the prize bin at Chucky cheese. I asked a few times daddy don't we need some of this to. He said son let me tell u a story....

Once was a man who bought cow urine for pennies by the barrel. Sold it for dollars by the ounce. Had hunters pouring it on the ground and then stand in line and beg for more. All u need son to be successful is right between your ears. I feel fortunate, appears a lot of guys never got to hear that story.

Gimmick.  I mean probably works on some level but we have hunted and survived for millennia without all this high tech stuff , sprays, clothes n such.
I'll just stick to the basics.
