Default RE: What is a deer's best sense?

Skunk scent won't help you, I promise, you can't beat that nose....If the wind is wrong, don't hunt the area, wait until a good wind direction...

If you know where they are coming from, you could reposition your stand, even hunt a cross wind, where your scent won't cross their path...

You've heard stories about drug dogs smelling crack, etc, even though the dealers covered the scent with oil, etc, well, a deer can smell better than a dog...

It's not a problem, just find a way to hunt around it....Might take some thinking, long range scouting, I've even brushed over trails before....This is what makes it fun...
