You are correct gentleman, let me rephrase my never!. I have never seen, or had somebody tell me they have seen, a deer circle around another deer to wind it. Obviously they SMELL each other, and from distances, and being on the ground, even against the wind, they can smell each other from a decent distance. Again, maybe they do, but I've never seen it. Has anybody actuall seen it? During the rut, a buck will come straight at a grunt, because you've fooled him into thinking another buck is after his does. He ain't going to circletowind you if he's fooled. NEVER had a doe circle me to wind me on a bleat. NEVER.They got 20 yards from the tree, and I either popped them, or they continued on their merry way, never stopping to wind me.Even the worst deer call should not cause a deer to circle you to wind you. They do this when they've heard, seen, smelled, or a combination of the three, something not natural. Your call should not be unnatural. I guess if you call the crap out of them, then they would figure something was up and try to get around you. Then again, that would be dumb, and would fit the scenario.
