Huntingson....I agree. What I didn't say so well is....I think they are related.

"Forget the wind....just hunt"??? Please.

You are 100% correct....and my mind has slowly changed as to the importance of this. If I had to hunt where some of you guys do.....THIS would be my No. 1 priority (Wind). Where I hunt....I can mask my sccent to the point where I get away with more than most. I STILL think I need to be more disciplined to NOT hunt when the wind is even marginal. I've been guilty of this (hunting in a less than favorable wind) in the past a LOT. It's worked out, some.....but I'll always wonder if I haven't done as much harm as I have been successful (in the long run).

A goal for '08. Hunt less. Hunt smarter.

Again...GREAT point.
