I don't go overboard about decenting myself but I always try to play the wind. Our area of Rochester, NY inevitably has wind currents due to our proximity to both Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. It is essential that you learn your hunt areas well and that you use mother nature to your advantage. I know that folks have hunted the elusive whitetail for many, many years without the aid of suits, sprays, etc. so I guess I am old school in my approach. I consider it an added challenge to get real close by using your knoggin and playing the opposite game the deer play. Sure I've been busted but I always learn from those experiences. Each mistake that I make during the course of a hunt or season is added to the knowledge bank and accessed when I go afield again. Sure it is more difficult but to each his own. Hell, just two years ago my son talked me into hanging up my ol' recurve. Guess I'm just living a bit in the past but I'm loving it just the same. To all those who try the modern tools and technologies I wish them all the success they strive for.
