IMO go hunt whenever you get off however you smell! as stated by a few others if you have a hunny hole you are saving for the rut you may want to stay out of that stand as to not ruin in for when all the stars "wind,day off from work,weather,time of year" do aline and you can hunt it.
Other than saving a stand or two for later in the fall just go hunt. I have friends who preach scent control and have guys who are good hunters but wear the same clothes all year dont wash them rarely shower in the morning but simply get the wind in their favor. The guys who are simply better at playing the wind stand selection ect have way more success than the scent control nuts.
I probably fall somewhere in between I was once one of the preach scent control change in the middle of fields in the pooring rain ect I still will still spray my boots and equipments generally shower but playing the wind is and always will be far more important than how you smell!
