Default RE: Scent Control and Concealment.

Why is everyone so impressed with having deer downwind of them?? With basic scent precautions I have had deer up, down, sideways, and under me with the wind blowing in every direction. It's kind of a silly notion anyways because if you sit in your stand all day you will notice how many times the wind shifts or swirls throughout a hunt..........anyone who thinks the wind is a linear device is bonkers.
I do not believe a deer ever gets downwind from you Atlas, unless it has an arrow stuck or blown threw it!!! You have to let one walk by you for that to happen, LOL We all know you shoot everything!!

Good post rob, I had little 7 point in front of me 47 mins Friday night, he looked up a couple times(I had a squirrel in my tree also) and eye balled me. I wear realtree, and have had great success, but I may try an open pattern. I wish ScentLok would make a suit with an open pattern.

The buck finally walked away, he looked dazed and confused!!
