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

1shotkill1993....if the wind is hitting you in the face....you are sitting downwind, not looking 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.

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...
