I guess I'm just plain dumb. I only use deer bee blind camo and natural scent o pee on ya self. hehe. I do use camo and I do stalk deer regardless of what way the wind is blowing. Although I do take mind of which way that is the wind continues to be the strongest. After 20years of guiding I've seen more elk, deer, and antelope by people messing with gadgets on bows, or turning down their scope because it was set at the highest possible power then the elk is 30yds in the trees. I always try to remind people but sometimes my mind is on the tracks ahead.

top 5 gadget mistakes in my world.
1. Scope set on highest power of zoom
2. Bow slings
3. Rangefinders (close means close in any book)
4. Two different brands of ammo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
5. Ah the GPS.... If your playing with your toy you didn't just see the deer walk by.

P.S. If you smell like a multiple of scents then the animal will key in on that. And after 5 days of elk hunting elk scent starts to smell more like coyote urine. Just sayin..

I hate gadgets. It lowers my yearly success rate.
