And hear lies my biggest problem!!!!! I agree that eliminating as much scent as possible is the best thing you can do, but I know its not gonna be full proof. So I try to hunt the wind as much as possible. But honestly everytime I get into a stand and I think I have the wind in my favor, just the way I want it. It CHANGES lol. And there is no control over nature soooooo... what do you do?[/quote]

This is where attempting to reduce your scent to that "acceptable" level is so important. Like I said in one of my earlier posts, the deer don't seem to play by the same rules as we do! Reduce you scent as much as possible and try to hunt with the wind in your advantage, the rest is a roll of the dice.
