well, i got permission to take some does out of a clover field that i hunt. i put a stand at the far corner, last night the wind was in my face. well, 5 HUGE does and 4 'peanuts' as we call them come out and start working there way towards me.
the get about 70 yds....and the wind changes. i start to feel it on the back of my ear....oh CRAP!!
the biggest doe...id guess to be abot 140 throws her nose up and takes off....along with the rest of em
the wind did this tonight to!!!!! starts blowing the opposite direction about 30 mins before dark. idk what to do.
i did end up puttinga ground blind on the side, so the wind should be blowing down the headrow..

Shawn,
You need a better scent control strategy!!! And when I say that, I mean a REALLY DEDICATED stategy. I was ALL of my clothes in scent-free detergent, use only scent-free softener and dryer sheets, keep my boots in the box they were bought in, and put them on and take them off at my hunting site. I ALWAYS wear a facemask (lt. wt. neck gaiter) that at a minimum covers my mouth, and the back of my head and ears, and I spray off with a little autumn blend cover scent that really does tend ot smell llike the woods. I wear scent-suppressing base layer under my hunting clothses, and I usually use a little buck urine for my cover. Look over your scent control strategy, and modify what you can, and then re-assess. I HONESTLY pay little attention to the wind, and I get near a LOT of deer.
But seriously, try washing your clothes with scent free wash, take a scent free shower, dry off with a scent free towel. The whole 9 yards. It really does help when the wind's not so perfect..
god hates me
