When a deer is down wind of you there is virtually nothing you can do to prevent them from picking up your scent, except for may be being as high in the tree as you can. Don't listen to those rediculous ad's from companies like Scent Blocker:"Forget the Wind, Just Hunt".
That's the name of the game, if deer didn't smell, it would be too easy.
Iusally climb 25 or 30ft with theTree Loungeand you can set off an orange smoke bomb and it never reachesground level no matter where the wind is comming from.
It goes in every direction except down.
