Default scrape hunting

ive been reading this book real world whitetail behavior. and one of the chapters is scrape hunting, in the chapter they say that most bucks travel with the wind to their backs or quartering across there backs.they use their eyes and hearing for the front side. what i find interesting though is when a buck opens its scrapes, they will not check it again until that wind is in the same direction that it was in when they first opened it. which if your hunting in mountains could be a little tricky, you could have a north wind but in the area the scrape was it could have been a south wind with the funnels and ridges playing the game. my question is did anybody know all this? or had different experiences? ill admit, i didn't know all this i knew about the bucks traveling with the wind to there backs. but not the scrapes i figured they just checked them randomly at night.
