Mission Undercover

The ERGOTARN Filter field test.

Imagine an odour filter that suppresses human scent for wild game to the greatest possible extent, enabling hunters and wildlife observers to get closer to animals than ever before – theoretically it would be a sensation. But does the theory stand up to practical testing? Three experts prepare to find out: Kai-Uwe Kühl (Outfox Executive Director), Andreas Irle (Forest Ranger – Grafenwöhr, Germany) and Frank Rakow (Chief Editor of Deutsche Jagdzeitung [German hunting magazine]) have set off to test the ERGOTARN Filter and document their “Mission Undercover” on red deer, an animal with a highly developed sense of smell (good test object) that is active during the day (good film object). The three found the ideal location in the Grafenwöhr Military Training Area – see for yourself!
