I guess to simply this whole thread it would be that ALWAYS hunt the wind, if the wind is iffy or changes while in the stand stay out or get out and, for me, do everything you can to help you out if it can't hurt (Scent-Loc and spray).

I've hunted numerous times in a stand that the wind switched and either I called it a night and left or moved to another stand if there was time to move and wouldn't impact that stand on getting there late.

To consistently shoot big bucks youHAVE to use the wind in your favorbecause you will not beat his nose often enough to be successful.

Post of the day material right there.

LT, so if you've got a bunch of 10 pound-plus largemouths on the wall, do you still have as much credibility if they came from an aquarium?

Alex, that right there is funny ***t. We all know where Greg hunts and for the most part how much land he hunts. Ask Jeffery where he hunts and how many deer he sees every season.

GMMAT,

Please stop stealing bandwidth.

Thank you.

Im pretty sureyour post, Ain't worth a velvet painting of a dolphin and a whale, gettin' it on.

Greg great thread, to bad it got turned into a high school cafeteria! Some of this crap isn't even entertaining any more!

I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but I stand by everything that I said. I do in fact select my stand sites to make it impossible for the deer to detect me.

Do you really think that I need a bit more of an edge?

Guys this has really gotten ridiculous...

This was answered way earlier, back on page 1, my very first post. You can really tell who has read and who has not.

If the wind is in my favor I don't need to use any of that stuff!! Hello??

And now we have this, along with "how much land do you hunt?"

I have mentioned on numerous occasions how much land I hunt and where I hunt and the "King Pin" of all sack riders still has to make it sound like all of my deer came from one spot. An aquarium. This is an outright lie and very insulting. For the last time and for all to see..... here it is.

I have hunted deer for 41 seasons and have taken 67 deer. 42 of them were bucks. For the last 17 seasons, starting in 1991, I started hunting for mature bucks. During these 17 seasons I have taken 17 mature bucks, 1 with a rifle. Of these 17 bucks, 8 were from Illinois and 9 were from Wisconsin. I hunt in 2 different states and 5 different counties. 2 counties in Ill and 3 in Wis. I took 5 from one county in Ill and 3 from another. In Wis I took 6 from 1 county, 2 from another and 1 from the 3rd one. Scorewise the bucks range from the 120s to 180 and 8 make P&Y. 4 from Ill and 4 from Wis.

Acreage wise, in Ill I hunt a 36, 40 and 125 acre spots and in Wis I hunt a 40, 40, 320 and an 80 acre spots.

DOES THIS SOUND LIKE A FRICKEN AQUARIUM TO YOU!!! WTF

For some reason, there seems to be some jealousy going on here. Why else would someone try to diminish my accomplishments like this????

And I was the very first one he blocked or so he says. Makes me proud. Funny thing though, when he is on line and I post in a thread and go back in that thread 30 seconds later and see him in there. Could he be lying? No no no no no no, not the original sac rider. Ohhhhhh, I'm such a bad boy, pushing buttons again. LMAO.

Greg H,

I always enjoy reading your posts as they are usually void of any useless fodder. I must say, this is one of your best. This provides a great foundation for those less knowledgable about hunting the wind. In addition, it also spurred many useful responses.
