I myself cant understand why anyone would stay in a stand if the wind shifted on me when the option of moving to another one exists.
Also not a big fan of scent killers if they are not natural ones, why pay for them when most places I hunt have Dirt and water to scrub my hands and boots with. Never was keen on squirting myself with a man made product after taking a shower.
If I'd gotten down when the wind shifted.....he"might" still be walking.
My '07 8 pointer was shot on Novemebr 6th. Wind was PERFECT. Temp was cool. Before daylight the wind shifted and the clouds rolled in (I thought I was gonna get wet). I stood my ground.....and killed him at 7:05......coming from (for maybe the first time in my life) EXACTLY where I thought he'd come from.
I was clean. It worked out. He's on my wall. He came from downwind of me (downwind at that time). I can't explain it other than to say......I thought it was gonna work out. It did. I only know that if I'd climbed down when the wind shifted.....he'd have lived another day.
I'm not saying "I" have the "killer instinct". But I'm saying "something" told me to trust my spot (I'd seen him in that area on the previous Friday, Saturday). I killed him Tuesday morning.
The best tool we have is between our ears. If yours tells you to get down every time the wind shifts.......by all means do so
