Hunt the wind and let it dictate your spot for each hunt. To do otherwise is "pissin inda wind". 10ft, 20ft... 60ft it don't matter when the wind is wrong!

I once DID hang a Loc-on gunstand 45-50ft up a large white oak. Birds were flyin BELOW me! But I was 20yrs younger, 50#s lighter and didn't have a good lookin woman and 3 kids waitin at home for me back in those days! Deer for sure had NO clue I was anywhere around, but just climbin up in that thing was an adventure. (Would NOT even consider such today. About all I leave the ground for today is a steel lader or a WELL BUILT shooting house!) The scent IS going to come down somewhere tho.

Deer hunting and wind is like your wife. Friend OR foe... just depends on how you play them!!!
