[QUOTE="DRC458, post: 3066839, member: 530"] If I were hunting on the ground, I would tend to agree with you. However, nearly all of my deer hunting is from an elevated, fully enclosed, box blind. I don't 'brew' coffee; I drink from a thermos. I do heat up a can of soup now and then. But, my feet are roughly twelve feet off the ground and I am inside an enclosure. What scent does escape my blind is over the deers' backs and any breeze helps to carry it away and over their heads. It is not at all unusual for me to have deer grazing on the wheat field within 20 to 30 yards of my stand. The stand has been there for several years, so they are used to it and my being inside doesn't seem to phase them one bit as long as I am quiet. A buddy of mine is partially handicapped and he rides his 4-wheeler right up underneath his elevated stand, where he parks it behind some pallets to break up the outline ... it doesn't fully hide it. He believes the deer [I][B]do [/B][/I]smell the 4-wheeler due to their actions, but he regularly has deer within 100 yards or so. They do not bolt and run, or snort or any such thing. They just act a bit apprehensive. [/QUOTE]
