Default RE: So you're playing the wind...

Well, I know I cannot count the number of bedded deer, bucks and does, young and old, that I've practically walked across before they got up and bolted. Wind direction BOTH in my face and at my back.They either heard, orsmelled,my coming and did notget up, period.I see a deer out of my range, I do nothing. The next day I move my stand, and guess what? Same deer, same path, dead deer.Deer calls and deer scents are so overused to make up for lack of scouting, it's not funny. Don't know about your TV show, but again, I've never seen a deer circle around to wind another deer.Can't tell how many times I've just sat there and watched them play, run each other off, or just hung out eating their way along. I don't do much field hunting though, mostly up in the hardwoods and thicket. Just my personal observations of my experience.
