I totally disagree! Too many hunters dont go to a certain stand because the wind isn't right (I used to be one of them). Your only limiting your opportunities. If your not out there , you aint gonna get him. The buck I shot on halloween came from down wind and never knew I was there. The majority of October hunting is done with a S-SW or SE wind. I have stands that I literally have to hunt upwind of the bedding areas if I want to hunt period. Especially for those who have a limited hunting area , dont limit your hunting time based on wind direction. If your hunting huge tracts of land , then I'd hunt the wind as an added precaution.
Scent elimination is the best tool for hunting whitetails!
