To what degree does simply getting up in a stand off the ground help with scent? Will I get winded anyway?

Seems like the intensity of the scent should matter. For instance, if you stepped out on your porch in the summertime and smelled a faint skunk smell, you probably wouldn't be too alarmed. However, if you got a real strong blast of skunk smell, you' d be far more cautious stepping around the corner of the house, no?

I would imagine a deer too, may be more or less alarmed by the intensity and freshness of the human scent.
