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]

It's also why we dont win every time. The wind is by far the hardest thing for me to contend with. I dont hunt as much now as I used to because I stay out of the area if the wind isnt right. Its frustrating to hunt 2 or three hours then the wind swirls or changes direction and ruins the hunt. Im setting here not trying to deside if I should go or stay home because it looks like the wind is changing directions. Id rather not educate the deer by having my scent blown all over the place.....but some times...just sometimes....it all comes together and we kill one. There just isnt a magic bullet to beating the wind and a deers nose.
