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.
[/blockquote]
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?
I was the one who stated "100%". I also stated that I take ZERO chances with a whitetails nose. So for me, it is not all about the odds.

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.
1) A lot of people say this isn't rocket science and you don't think that hunting the wind is scientific. Did you hear me say that it was??
2) I would think that most people would but all one has to do is read GMMATs post on "Forget the wind, just hunt" to see that this is not what everyone would. So the answer is ....No.
3) The weather web site has been practically spot on for the areas that I hunt "up here".

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.
[/blockquote]
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.
1) I never claimed any of this to be scientific.... those are your words.
2) I didn't imply that you were soley ( or remotely)responsible for Higgens departure.
3) You seem to be putting words into my mouth and making a lot of assumptions about what I've said and for that sir, you may take your place at the end of the line.
Finally, the things that I post on here are to help others get an idea that they can expound on and help to achieve their goals. These are the very things that have helped me achieve success in hunting mature bucks. I believe that it's working. Why pick it apart and say it's not very scientific? I never said it was.
How successful have you been? Why not share some of your techniques? I'd be very interested to hear them, especially the scientific ones.
