Went out yesterday and saw 3 bucks all downwind !! Funny because I was using absolutely no scent control and my wife had washed my camo in regular ole tide or whatever !! Road to the hunting club with my hunting clothes on !! [] Wind was blowing directly at the deer !!

Well.............I got to be honest ! Deer came from a different direction than I thought (new stand). Wind checker showed my wind was blowing straight toward the deer but going up instead of going low . And once it had blown out of the woods and to an open field it was obviously swirling and comin back another direction (as a doe told me ......upwind and further down of my location) [8D]

Anyway............I don't practice much scent control anymore ! I don't think it is unimportant ..........but I just don't buy into all of it anymore !

Decided to pass on the bigger buck (about a 95-100" 8pt ) @ 30 yrds !! Hopefully he won't get shot by someone else this year !! [>:]

With all the continual scent control topics.............all the people claiming to have shot deer downwind because of scent lok/blocker suites.........I thought some of you might find it interesting that I could have bagged a descent deer (which appeared to be directly downwind) ..........while doing everything you are not supposed to do via scent control !!
