Well, you looked pretty cool in your old avatar wearing those shades:D

I think you got the point I was trying to make Gri22ly! Obviously a person is going to have multiple stands out in there woods if there woods can permit it.

And I have had plenty of deer directly downwind of me and they never detected me when I haven't used anything for scent control. Why? Wind thermals, topography, height your in the tree, young deer.

Either that or I just don't stink as much as the rest of you.;)

RE: How I hunt the wind
 

Good info, I didn't even know we had access to that kind of info (degrees of wind).... I will definitely start using that tip!

:DThis says it all pal.
Side not I personally decide which stand once I am at the property I hunt based on the wind when I arrive.

RE: How I hunt the wind
 

I wish I had large parcels that I could move around in when the wind wasn't exactly right for a particular stand. I've hunted Rob's spots and had deer come from two totally separate directions when i was sitting in the stand by his food plot.

But a man hunting a small parcel.......IMO doesn't have the luxury of being able to move around as much as some. This thread is a little surprising in that sense.

Someone had a wonderful point way back on page 1. What about getting to and from your stands? If you're hunting small acreages......you're GONNA have to take some liberties.....sometimes.....or you're gonna have to be disciplined enough to stay out. One or the other......there isn't a choice. I've got numerous stand locations....because I have plenty of climb-able trees (to hunt the fringes). Of the +/- 100 acres I hunt, though....I have 6-7 REALLY good stand sites, though.....that can be accessed/hunted with a favorable wind. I would imagine that number decreases as the number of hunt-able acres does, though.

Some times the winds just demand that we go fishing.;)

RE: How I hunt the wind
 

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??

RE: How I hunt the wind
 

What makes you think this spray works any better than say Scent- Loc?[:-]

RE: How I hunt the wind
 

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?
