if you screw up your spot, then you have no opportunity left for when the wind is right.
Right, this is so under rated. Hunting the wind is one thing but your foot print doesn't just disappear when you leave the woods from hunting, scouting, checking cams etc.
That is why its so easy to sell us scent wafers to hang on our hats....because that is much easier than reality.
Scent control is a huge topic that gets watered down by gimmicks. Consistently Harvesting the mature buck that just about everybody wants to harvest is a process of patients not gimmicks. Timing is what its about. Hunting the wind is a given but even that won't work if your hunting that buck on days where he don't budge until after dark. He can still smell you after your gone.
