I was out last week after teaching at school all day. I had deoderent on, cologne, hair gel, the whole nine yards. Never showered, went out after school in a sweatshirt and windpants. Within 20 minutes of sitting in stand (just to scout a bit here at school) I had three doe walk by at about 35 yards. Surprised, I checked the wind. "Ahhh the winds going right away from them, no wonder," I thought. Well, approximately 30 minutes later I have a buck come from straight down wind, I see him at 35 yards, and he continues to make his way toward me. He stops at about 30 yards, sticks his head in the air and smells, then continues toward me to about 15 yards. He ate and slowly made his way into the field. "Huh, thats weird" I thought. A few minutes later, another buck, and then another, all from the same direction. Then around dusk, 15 minutes or so later, I had another buck right under my stand. I was never busted that night.

Now I KNOW I smelled that night. Although I may have smelled good lol, but nonetheless. 7 deer when going out to scout with cologne and other things on is crazy. I dont know the reason for what happened, but I still felt it was a bit odd.
