It's the tricky thing with scents....
I think mature deer try to walk into the wind regardless of whether they have already detected a scent.
So, if you are facing into the wind, you are facing upwind. So lets say you are facing upwind and a deer it directly in front of you. Are you downwind of the deer or upwind of it? I'd guess you are downwind of it, and it is upwind of you. Correct?
