Default RE: All day in the stand and you have to GO BAD!

Let it go, play the wind though so you don' t have to climb down through it when getting out of your stand. If you are worried that the deer will spook at a foreign scent then do what I do. Go out to your hunting spot about once a week, and drink as much water as you can on the way, then piss everywhere (except right at the base of my stands) Let them get used to you being around. I also brush my dogs and leave some piles of dog hair around, Because I will surely have some dog smell on me when I go hunting. I wear a dirty set of work clothes so the deer get acclimated to that smell also. I don' t want to have those smells very strong on me when I am sitting in the stand, but I know there will be traces, and don' t want the deer to spook when crunch time comes.
