well everyone certainly has an as.....opinion, as fer smell goin up in the air and bein in a treestand the deer wont smell you, is true in the mornin, the sun comes up and moisture starts evaperating carryin the scent with it, but in the evenin the air and scent are movin downhill as to settle on the forest floor...there-for bein above the trail in the mornin and bein below the trail in the dusk hours is the way to go...
No doubt ....archery is way harder than rifle..no exceptions
.22 and a .50 will kill the deer the same, shot placement is everything
why are you wearing camo if you are in a blind?
camo definatly helps me when i bowhunt, not in a blind, and scentlock definatly helps..helps i say..certainly u have your head exposed, and you are breathing righ? so ur breath is #1 if ya have on scentlok..so breath through ur nose..
my daughters rossi .223 is jus as effective as my 300WSM, given the right distance, energy is whats needed, so if you are shootin 600 yrds, the .223 aint gonna have the same energy as my 300WSM.
