Default RE: Getting smelled by deer

I think even though you maybe using the same methods of scent control,it is not what you are doing wrong.It is sometimes how much will the deer tolerate you.The later in the season it gets,the less likely you will get away with what you did in the beginning of the season.That is why the old saying the first time in your stand is usually the best time to shoot a buck.If a deer even gets a whiff of you because of a change in the wind direction or wind swirling in the later season they are gone.All you can do is practice good scent control,
keep the wind in your favor if possible,and pray you don't get caught.
