Dubbya,
Good try there bud, but common sense tells me that you can't elininate 100% of your human odor no matter what you do. Besides, you are assuming that I have neverused any of the products.
Very true, I didn't realize that I had stated that it was possible to eliminate 100% of odor... but then again, this game is all about the odds. Correct?

Secondly, while out hunting I don't get quite as anal-litical as you suggest. I use a compass. [:-]

If the wind starts to get a little "iffy", in reference to your one degree off comment, I usually error on the side of caution and look for a better option.
To me, there isn't really anything scientific about "hunting the wind," there are too many variables. You stated that if the wind gets a little "iffy" then you look for a better option. Isn't that what everyone would do? I'm trying to find the significant difference between your way of hunting th wind and the majority.


I was referring to when you check the wind in the morning, at which point do you decide it's a no go? It's very possible that your meteorologists are much more accurate up there than down here, and for your sake I hope so. I'm not sure how they can get the wind narrowed down to exact geometry when they struggle hitting 30 degree increments. JMHO.

OK guys,
WTF!! When I write something about hunting for big bucks, the best thing you can do is read what I have to say then see if you can apply any or all of it to your own situation. If not, go on to the next thread and try to find something that you can use.

Is it any wonder why we have lost some good people on here, such as Don Higgens?

For all those who choose to pick apart what I have said rather than say something useful......... you may get in line to wait your turn to plant tulips on the Buck Guru's behind! That's Gospel.
Easy, "Guru"... I've read all your stuff and tried to apply it to several situations, however, I don't think mother nature is predicatable enough to get scientific with "hunting the wind." So if you can't get down to the degree, then you're not doing anything any different than hunting the general wind direction. I don't mean that as an attack, there's just no difference.

On the other hand, I really do like the idea of being able to visualize the wind direction on an aerial photo. That I will apply.

As for Don Higgens... we got along great. But I'll take the blame if that's what you're trying to imply.
