Gunplummer wrote, "People totally over rate HOW deer can smell."
Understanding the importance and effect of wind direction on big game animals (including whitetail deer) is a fundamendal part of the art and science of hunting. An ignorance of these principles is similar to a doctor being ignorant of biology and anatomy, or a lawyer being ignorant of state statutes.
A hunter who ignores the wind and its profound effects on big game animals is utterly incompetent in the field and is literally wasting his time. That's a categorical statement.
I've enclosed my bona fides (that I know what I'm talking about) in the form of photos of my last 7 deer. (And I will provide photos of the 10 deer before that if that's really necessary.)
I'm always willing to view Gunplummer's last 7 deer should this debate need to continue...
