Wind will play a huge roll in what you do and don't see. Scent lock cloths help, but deer can still smell you. If you were watching/hunting the direction the wind was going, that's probably your main problem. If you know where they’re coming from, move a little ways and put yourself out of the direction of their noses. One more suggestion, try to have a couple different spots planned out and hunt them as the wind changes direction, or in other terms, according to the wind direction of a given day. Simple plan to help increase your success chances. This is just my two pennies, but I play the wind religiously!! And yes,it does pay off quit a bit! Hope this helps you out.....
