I agree it's important to play the wind. The issue I have is where the deer move on my property is such a narrow corridor that playing the wind doesn't always work.
Like several of you I use a mix of scent killer and cover scents. I have no proof but I rotate my cover scent each time I use a stand (fox one time, then racoon or skunk) so that the deer don't associate a certain scent to danger.
I have lost my faith in scent trapping clothing. When Scentloc first came out I know it worked because the deer bedded down right under my stand during an early October hunt. I bought their newer stuff a few years ago but was not impressed.
One note about raccoon scent. Be care putting on your clothes and wearing it into your stand. I once had a confrontation with an angry boar who climbed my tree looking for the intruder in his territory.
