I've always enjoyed hunting mornings. I think the area I hunt the Thermals rising from the heating air helps in avoiding being scented.;)

The Air/Scent off of your body cools to the surrounding temps I would bet almost instantly.

Common sense will tell you that! I love the Wind Floaters, using them on a consistent basis for a few years will teach you a lot about wind currents and Thermals!;)

Send that one to me:eek:

RE: Thermals ..... Do they play a part in your hunt???
 

Yes,they play a part in my hunts.I luckily killed a buck many years ago who was getting on his feet as the thermal shift was occurring.The first time I saw him he was coming out of his bedding area with the wind at his back and the thermals blowing to his right side.He was traveling down the edge of a ridge that he could look down.He had every direction completely covered.The first time I saw him he was out of bow range and he got a snoot full of me because of the thermals at about 60 yards out.A week later after having rested the stand for 7 days I killed him before he got in to my scent stream from the prevailing wind and the thermals.Both times I saw him was within minutes of the thermal shift.

Hunting here in the drainages in the Rockies I use the current on every hunt. I start high and work my way down in the early mornings. In going from an elevation of 4500 ft to 2225 on a hike I use the thermal current to my advantage. Sometimes winds can change every 5 minutes and cold weather can change an approach also. The wife will drop me off and I have an atv at the bottom or she'll me me there at dark-thirty.
