Thank you. Very informative indeed, especially the part about not putting scent next to me to try and cover up mine.

Yup looks like I'll just have to pay my dues. It's a little ironic though that my first time out I had him in my sights 35yards away and 3 trips later I'm paying dues. LOL well, I could've let that arrow fly but didn't wanna bounce that arrow off a couple twigs/branches then hit him in the leg where he'd just run off and die somewhere I couldn't track.

Any other suggestions from anyone else would be welcome too.
