No matter where I hunt in the world the conditions and tactics change depending on weapon (rifle, bow, spear, muzzleloader, ect.) and game animal, but the basics never do: Know the habits of your game and where they are right now. Play the wind. If you know their habits you can-- even in swirling wind set up downwind to your advantage. Swirling wind confuses deer too. I understand what you are saying. I get busted too from time to time. I had a doe an fawn coming in and bedding about 60 yards from my blind a couple of years ago and they would bust me coming in every morning. I had to change my tactics.. stop going to that blind and set up down wind from them in a tree. But I didn't try to spray this and that on me and my gear. You can do that if you want to but changing your tactics will benefit you more.
Live it up! Doug
