RE: dumbfounded please advise!!
DOE! Change the direction from which you enter the area. If you haven't already shower with scent killing soap, forget the deodorant, after shave, and hair spray. I religiously wash ALL my hunting clothes in phosphate free soap and have sprayed all my clothes with UV Killer and store them in a black plasstic bag with Earth Scent. Unless you are in camp, spray your clothes after dressing with scent killer.
I've had bucks snort at me but it is Very Rare. Snorting is usually a doe.
