WOW.........Nice to see someone else out there actually put some intelligent thought into what is being said. BRAVO.

A lot of people around here don't like facts.........because they don't tell the story they want to hear. They don't want to hear about the 9,999 times the bottle of "Hot Doe" didn't work.......they fixate on the 1 time someine says it "brought him in on a string." They don't want to hear about the science of carbon.........they just want to read the label with the picture of a huge buck on it and believe their household dryer can defy the laws of physics. They don't want to believe that the secret to killing deer can't bought in a store. They don't want to hear that being perfectly still and quiet are more important then the tag on your jacket. They could hear 10,000 stories talking about deer walking right up to people and not seeing, smelling, or hearing them and they won't be interested AT ALL.........UNLESS it involves a magic product that they can buy to make themselves invisible too!! They don't want to accept the fact that the wind does not blow in a linear fashion all day every day and forget temperature changes and how scent will rise with warming air etc.......and why is it that everyone assumes that your scent travels DOWN from 20 feet up a tree??.......the safest place to NOT be winded by a deer is probably right under your stand since the wind will surely be carrying your scent in some direction other then straight down 20 feet of tree bark.........I mean who ever heard of the wind blowing down??.......yet people marvel at deer right under their stand Last year everyone raved about ASAT........this year it's ENIGMA............stay here long enough and you will realize that the flavors of the month rarely last very long around here. After all, this is the place that had an overwhelming amount of guys touting the Liberty, Justice, Icon, and LX as the greatest bows on the planet.............3 months later if you mentioned those bows all you heard was crickets.

I love hearing all the stuff too............I just keep them in proper perspective.
