[QUOTE="doctorjj, post: 3179877, member: 7292"] I’ve become much less interested in scent control. I truly believe that if a deer is alert and trying to smell everything, if they are in your scent cone, they will smell you no matter what you do. Of course there are anecdotal stories about wearing Scentlocker and buck walked straight up wind to right under my stand, blah, blah, blah. I’ve done everything under the sun and sometimes it worked and sometimes the deer still spooked. I’ve also done nothing and had the exact same experience. These days, I don’t worry about it and I just try to play the wind. But I’ve been trying to hunt marginal winds, just off axis, more than what a hunter would call an ideal winds. If the direction I think the deer are gonna come from is just off axis from the wind direction, and the deer should be outside my scent cone, they think they have the wind and they think they have the advantage. Big bucks don’t get big by not playing the wind, so if you are always setting up down wind from the food plot or the does, the mature bucks are going to come in from downwind and you will be busted.
