RE: PA opener!!!!!
lol carbon and scent lok suits are a luxury i can' t afford this season,.
Had on cover scent, and used as much scent eliminator as I could, just guess there was something I missed. That is part of the reason too why no scent lok for me, i mean I know it works, but it seems like if you forgot, mess up, or don' t do one thing, then the whole setup is blown, so I usually just try to play the wind and use it as my best scent cover up.
No biggie for me, I am used to hunting from the ground and always played the wind and would use minimal scents other than attractants. Just wasn' t my luck that they came up the trail on the side of the stand that the wind was blowing to.
The way I had the stand setup trails broke off about 100yards or so below me, over a small ridge, if they go to the left (my right) through a small feeding area where they have been feeding recently) then they would be upwind of me, and I would be in the clear. If they go right at the trailhead, then they would come up downwind of me, on a farther off trail, WELL out of bow range. I took my chances with this stand hoping that I might score lucky and some would use the upwind trail this morning, but just wasn' t my day :-)
