Default Dead Down Wind...

Anyone use Dead Down Wind? I've had good luck with Wildlife Research but was interested in trying something new. Whatcha think?

I have used Wildlife Reserach for years and still do I think its a great product.
My friend that I hunt with tried the Dead Down Wind last fall and I would say theres no diffrence.
I had young deer walk right by me not more than ten feet away, never winded me.
Same thing goes for my friend he had deer walk close to him with no reaction.
So it seems that both products are pretty much equal but I'm sticking with Wildlife Reserach.

Just bought some this year, I'll be trying it as well. There's this young feller in Ohio that swears by it, so it must be ok.

Maybe I will give it a whirl. Wildlife Research has always put out great products but I've been hearing a lot of hype about dead down wind. Last year I had a doe and fawn walk 8 yards from me while I sat motionless on the ground. They never knew I was there. I did get busted one day last season also but the wind was strong and in the worst possible direction. I guess it's a catch 22.

Turkey hunting this past spring I had 5 deer within 10 yds of me and at one point staring at me,and I hadn't showered for two days,then the deer season rolls along and they won't get within 50yds of you shower or not!My buddy used Dead down wind last season and was pleased with it!

I have always used Hunter Specialties products and they have worked perfect for me. Last year, combinded with my Scent-Lok outfit I had 4 spearate instances where I had a deer under 5 yards from me when I was sitting on the ground. And I kid you not.....2 of them came up and bedded down next to me in a thicket and 2 others came out in a food plot at point blank.

And even with those I was also busted a few times last year.
