The land I hunt is very broken - a lot of bottoms and bluffs. I could hunt only the high ground but that would be eliminating some of the best areas I hunt. If I knew the wind perfectly I wouldnt use scent elimination either I think, but the mist common wind where I hunt is variable. It swirls and eddies over all those elevation changes (sometimes up to 200'). I hunt the wind in a similar way to Greg, but use an all out scent elimination strategy because I can be 100% certain part of the time on many of my stands, the wind will be 'wrong'.


I should add entry and exit are by far the most important parts of my hunt.
