RE: I always hear this story...
I know of no better way of ruining a great stand than by hunting it when the wind is wrong. And the damage is not just for a day or two. If a buck winds you he will remember .
I have stands that have not been hunted for years because the wind has been wrong and they are near bedding areas that I never disturb except in the spring when I will go shed hunting a couple of time other than that they are off limits.
If you don't know what spooked a deer you are not paying enough attention. A buck will look right at your wind his head will go up neck stretched out and he will turn and bound without hesitation once he has scented you.
You've been busted................And you will have lost that round........
If there is any chance of being winded don't hunt that stand.
