If you hunted the wind strictly you would never hunt the stands I have in my honey hole. It's flat/ in a valley and the wind changes almost on the hour so do you move every hour...hell no you don't because the deer and I've hunted this area for all of my 26 seasons, come from any and every direction. They don't just come from the east or the north, they come from anywhere at any given time so going in under any other circumstance other than as scentless as possible and using all the gimmicks on the shelves, trusting your instinct, knowledge and smarts.....you'd never hunt the stands. Obviously I've been successful on these stands and more successful since I've utilized the more "advanced" scent control knowledge that exists today.....I've virtually never been scented in later years, at least that I know of. No deer blows and goes for years. Sure I've been detected but the deer stop, study and slowly move out or circle, no blows and goes and I'll take that every time.....IMO.
