I spray religiously before and whilst Im in the stand. Wind is important, but if it starts swirling and changing, what am I gonna do?? So I spray, what's it gonna hurt. I have to ask Greg with all due respect, why not spray down?? What could possibly be the harm in it??

What makes you think this spray works any better than say Scent- Loc?[:-]
Because it will take gasoline smell off your hands or cigarette smoke out of a jacket or onion off your skin etc.. you honestly think it does nothing?
I never said that scent killers or scent blocking clothing hurt. One absolute positive about them is that they will boost your confidence. Confidence is an important part of success.

What I said was....... No matter what you do, if the wind is perfect for the deer, they'll still smell you.

I have nothing against these products, I just don't use them. Instead, I hunt a stand location with a wind that makes it impossible for them to detect me. I guess I'm a throw back from the olden days, before the advent of these products, and just learned how to hunt deer without them.

If I remember correctly, I believe that Shed33 sent me a scent killing product as part of my prize for winning the big buck contest. I will try it and see what I think. Who knows?? Maybe I'll become an outspoken advocate for these products once I see the dramatic increase in my success!!
I like you post and agree with what you have to say but during the rut bucks do strange things and at times can come from anywhere. I don't think you can say it's impossible for them not to detect you.

I hope you don't take what I said abovethe wrong way but the rut is a different kind of hunting time and the spray just might give you the little edge you need.

You have NO IDEA, Annika.

You have your average hunter.....and you have the guys who know every single nook, cranny, big buck trail, buck bedding area, doe bedding area, prevailing wind, saddle, ridge, oak flat, field edge, funnel, etc......in their TWELVE ACRES of woods.

Breed apart is what they are.;)

Greg:

I was the one who stated "100%". I also stated that I take ZERO chances with a whitetails nose. So for me, it is not all about the odds.


Dubbya

You're saying that deer hunting has little to do with playing the odds? Then what is it? Luck?
Is it just me? Or does it seem like someone likes totwist things around it meet their own agenda?
Apparently I'm not very intelligent... I'm not sure I see the "twist" here.

Had I said:

" You're saying that deer hunting is not all about playing the odds? Then what is it? Luck?

what would have been the difference?

BobCo, I'm not trying to be an ass here, I'm really not. ButI really don't see what's twisted about that.

I must admit.. this has been one of the more entertaining threads I've ever read.

I've been checking in over the past few days just to witness the misunderstanding's that are committed between certain members and I find it kinda funny.

It's easy to tell (just by the irrational response's) who actually took the time to read every post and who only read the most rescent posted pages.. it's comical.:D

These are the cliff notes...

Greg with an H (who incidently wishes me dead.. even mentioning my name to others.. which is also hysterical) posted on how he hunts the wind. Trying to better some guys/gals odds.

The "Greg machine" as I call it (those who will fight for him til their death) all agreed it was a great way to hunt. And it is.

The "rebellion" (the often younger generation who respsect Greg and the old ways.. but come from a newer and more advanced school of thinking) thought the Gregster may be just over doing his routine and wondered why he doesn't use any sort of no-scent materials or spray with such a rigorous routine.

The greg machine threw his arms down with great might.. as you have all questioned the master and the masters followers.

The rebellion simply wanted to know why not?

The greg machine threw down again!

Jeff joined in.. a little bit of vinegar for the pot.

The greg machines throws down a thunderous proceeding of firm believers in the older ways.

The rebellion simply wanted to know why not? Dubbya lead the charge.

Jeff laughed.. the rebellion tried to just simply ask a Q or two...

And the greg machine threw down a thunderous roar!

That's where we are at gents/ladies. Just another off season chat that seemingly went astray. No different from many others.

*Please take note that this post was for neither side.. I just wrote it in fun. Most of you will agree it was ridiculous.. and the other will still wish me dead. I did forget to mention Justin's role in the thread. A silly posting with not alot of words.. just a little humor and a bad drawing. Kudos to you JZ.. it also made me laugh.

Carry on gentlemen/ladies/Peakrut.

Dude....(Dub).....

Look 2 up (above your post). It's "hypothetical" (of course[8D]).....but let your mind wander.;)

Duke:

I don't hate you at all.:D

Why I'm here......

I just find it mildly amusing when I get a full page fishing dissertation on how to present my Texas rigged worm "just right"........from the guy fishing the tank at BPS.

He's got a helluva delivery.....and his flipping abilities are amazing.

But come on.....[8D]

"Gee teach.....that logarithm stuff sounds all cool and stuff......but when daddy tells me to count cows in the field.....I use the old tried and true formula. I count their legs and divide by 4."
Yeah that old "tried and true" method just keeps adding to Greg's taxidermy bill and covering his walls with giant bucks every year. I can just see some of you guys with a 3.5 year old 2 times in your career sayin " duh, well, uh, I thought all I had to do was spray down with e3 and add alot of magazine toilet time, and uh, that will = a true mature trophy one day. Uh, yep, that ought to do it. yep, yep.

Good luck.
