Default Scent Elimination Help

Here's the scenario, my farm country ground blind is 150 yards due north of a mature buck's rub and scrape line (been watching and hunting him for 3 years). The does and this buck feed all night in the alfalfa and corn south of the rub/scrape line(about 500 yds away from my ground blind). I don't have access to the area where they are feeding.
Every a.m. the deer move north along a line of cedars and bed up in a grassed/willowed waterway that is on the west end of the rub/scrape line.
Saturday's forcast says the wind will be out of the north(6 mph), so if I sit in my blind, these deer will definitely smell me.
Here's my question. If I use the all scent elimination products available to me (detergent, soap, deodorant, fresh earth dryer sheets, cardon spray and a cover scent), what are my chances that the deer are going to smell me anyway?
Would it be smarter to hold off hunting that spot until the wind changes and comes out of the south?
Hunting with a rifle.

Please advise.
