Just like a river. If you're swimming with the current your swimming downstream. If you're swimming against the current, you're swimming upstream. I think those instructions are meant to get the product's scent to the deer before your scent gets to the deer. That's why you should put one on either side of your scent cone if you're hunting a trail downwind of your stand location. |

No.... In your face = upwind.... At your back = Downwind.

The river analogy makes it easy to understand. Unfortunately where I hunt, I'm all around wind. Dang wind is never steady in one direction unless its blowing about 15-20. :mad: |

Yeah but did you know all rivers and streams travel downstream from south to north except for the mississippi? Just something else for you to consider

Okay let me get nautical on you;)
If the wind is blowing this way it is winward >>>>>>>(face) On the other side it is leeward (face)>>>>>>>> |

LMAO!!:rolleye0011::rolleye0011: |
ever heard the saying "big bucks show up downwind"?? downwind is when the wind is either at your face or back and blowing straight toward your target (sumthing that you obviously need to try and avoid lol) as for upwind when the wind is in your face your looking upwind...

Oops guys I'm sorry. I misread the question. Now I under stand.
If the wind is in your face, your looking upwind. If the wind is in your back, your looking downwind. |
