RE: Dumb Luck...?Strategy?
I had a similiar experience. When archery hunting I always hunt the wind, store my clothes outside in a plastic bag, use scent killer the whole 9 yards. Well, one day I was up at camp after a morning hunt and was just lazy and sat around all day inside in my camo while everyone around me smoked. I wasn't planning on hunting that evening so I didn't worry about it. Well, my friend bugged me for 30 minutes straight until I agreed to go with him. I smelled like a bar at 1:30 in the morning. I didn't even climb up a tree and just sat in my climber 2 feet off the ground. For some reason I really didn't want to be out but went along anyway. Not 30 minutes later a doe and a yearling walked up 20 yards from me grazing. I dropped her and then waited for my friend to show up. I'm not saying the smoke smell brought them in but it sure didn't bother them at all even though they came in down wind of me.
