I always play the wind when selecting a stand. But, I'm fortunate to have several locations to hunt that allow me to choose accordingly. If you have access to one or two stand sites only it would be tough. As far as deer not winding you when they are "downwind". Your scent stream is not hitting them in the face. Weather its because of swirling winds, thermals, or whatever......your scent stream has not hit their nose.

I wash and spray down and take all precautions (besides the carbon suit). But, I know there are no two ways about it.........if your scent stream hits their nose your done. I try to elimante as much odor as I can, but the infomercials can rave all they want about deer not smelling you. You can not eliminate all odors. I'mplaying the wind.
