This thread is pretty good....especially for a little comedy relief:s2:
As far as rivers go. There are a myriad of them that run in all compass directions. Remember, rivers run downhill (meaning your back is next to the hill..lol)...doesn't have anything to do with north, south, east, or west |
I am shocked this thread is still here..
Off topic, I know there are many rivers in the world that run in all directions. But they follow their natural topography. I am sure that the Nile "Breaks" the rules as far as rivers go. And runs in the opposite direction that it "should".. if that makes sense.. |

Another thing to consider is Burdock will only grow to the west of a maple tree and always to the south of poplars.

It's the tricky thing with scents....
I think mature deer try to walk into the wind regardless of whether they have already detected a scent. So, if you are facing into the wind, you are facing upwind. So lets say you are facing upwind and a deer it directly in front of you. Are you downwind of the deer or upwind of it? I'd guess you are downwind of it, and it is upwind of you. Correct? |
I prefer to be upwind of a fart and downwind of a deer...but that's just me.

I can't remember. Do i walk to work or bring my lunch? Is it hotter in my house than it is in the summer? Yes, because ice cream has no bones.

FWIW, dont worry about the wind, throw away the coon urine, never mind the sweat,no more dirt wafers, dont even think about the Off skeeter repellent apply to bare skin areas face and neck, actually, you can leave your hunting clothes on the kitchen floor for 2 days, no need to shower before the hunt, just spray on some pure vanilla extract, use it like cologne, place a few drops on the surrounding vegetation, and sit there like a ghost, a vanilla ghost that is. trust me

Forget the Wind, Just Hunt!
LOL, now where did I hear that? Stonewall, yes you are correct. And that is the ideal situation to have! |

I put my hunting clothes in tupperware containers with ceder shavings and other plant material. I usually take a shower using no soap of any kind, do not put on deoderant, and I have pretty good success with deer not detecting my scent. I am not a sweaty guy though. Last saturday night I had a deer walk up less than 15 feet from me while I was standing on the ground after last legal light, the wind was blowing directly from me to him but he didn't detect me by scent. |
