[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 4537793, member: 1409"] Most days, you will have less negative effects from the winds during the mornings than during the afternoons. This is mainly because morning air tends to rise, while evening air tends to fall, but also because morning winds are usually less intense. So, if you're hunting very high in a tree at sunrise, and have minimized your human/foreign scents, you should normally not have deer be alarmed by your presence, typically, no matter whether they're downwind or upwind or crosswind. Sometimes hunters think a deer has smelled them and taken off running spooked, but often it's more a case of that deer hearing or seeing the hunter, and then being more sensitive to trace amounts of foreign or human scent. Trace amounts of foreign/human scent will normally not cause deer to alter their travel. If it did, most deer would never move. [/QUOTE]
