Greg..that's good stuff.......
The crux of my whole point in all of this was.....If THIS is what you're considering an ABSOLUTE......
It is possible to get down from a stand and leave the area undetected, I've done it many times.
Isnt it then possible to hunt a stand with a swirling wind and NOT be detected by a mature buck? You seem to be saying he MIGHT see you leave....but he WILL smell you.
If this is what you believe....I respect that.
