No wind in Oklahoma question...

[hunter74079]

I had a question that I cant figure out......... I was bow hunting and there was 0 to 2 mph wind all weekend. I thought great, finally no wind since I live in Oklahoma but it was a nightmare. Everytime I hunt and there is 5 to 10 mph or better deer can walk all around me and not pick up my smell since I am scent cautious. But this weekend was different. I got busted everytime no matter where the deer was coming from. I was told that when there is no wind that your scent goes straight down and hangs around like fog.

So is this true or not? Thanks for the replies

I like a definate wind in one direction as opposed to a perfectly still morning, but ...in the morning the thermals should push your scent up and and in the evening push it down. I didn't have any problems this weekend in the same conditions. Might check your gear, make sure everything was scent proof. Good luck.
