Wow.. alot of interesting posts in this one.

I am a scent control fanatic.. from the moment I always shower before the hunt to the clothing I wear.. and from my top of my head into my body and way down to my toes..

But I will say I do use the slogan to hunt with the wind. I do understand wind current and thermals and how they work.. maybe not to professor status.. but I do understand them. The key is knowing how the deer use them for everyday survival.. and they do.

I believe my biggest successes over the past few years have all been directly linked to my understanding of whitetail and how they use the wind while traveling under natural conditions. (all except the buck i stalked in 06'.. he just picked the wrong place to bed with his doe..)

Honestly.. I normally expect the deer to come from exactly where they come from nearly 100% of the time.. truthfully. I have many instances of places I have on video where I have never hunted before where I point to that direction (based on wind).. and bamo.. the next scene I'm standing over a good deer. A book actually showed me the way to look at it.. and I haven't looked back since.. I trust my instinct.. and do implement a hunt with the wind strategy (on many occasions).
