Default Stand location, Scent, and camo

There has been lots of talk about scent and camo lately. Its all good and helps us choose whats best for our hunting, debate always makes for better hunters.

I have knocked camo and scent “inhibitors” before so let me explain a bit why.

I believe STAND PLACEMENT is 85% of the Battle to kill good deer.

I will give scent 10%, and camo and all the other junk you can think of the other 5%.

Modern day Bowhunting industry lives off guys who have a 30% stand – trying to make up the other 55% with “products”. I am not saying you can’t do “Both” – plenty of guys in the world and on this sight that have 85% stands and suck up the entire 15% of scent and camo goodies that can be effective – to give them the “best edge they can have”.

But IMO all this stuff and all this money is just trying to knock a few % points your way.

If YOU are still standing in a poor stand location – It won’t make a hill of beans.

But you won’t hear this much from today’s industry……..

They haven’t yet found a way to package killer trees……

It’s amazing how simple it can be when you are just standing where they are coming,
And how complicated it can get when your not.
