I wish I could hunt where you guys do. The wind where I hunt changes direction.
Also, I actually painted a back pack camo a couple seasons ago. After 6 weeks it still smelled like paint. I hunt the wind too, but what a giant extra red flag . I have had whitetails come up to me to 3 feet. What do you suppose I smelt like?
Nothing.
But not wearing that back pack.
Now I know someone is going to say it does not matter, just "HUNT THE WIND". I was taught that less smell is better than more smell. I totally disagree with anyone who suggests it does not matter.
In my experience it does matter, because the wind is not always going to cooperate and if it ever does by some fluke take your odor to a deer, why not have a chance to take that deer because you smell almost neutral? (rather than a can of paint.)
OK, I'm done;0)
