[QUOTE="13pt, post: 5560300, member: 19602"] I do agree there are lots of variables to consider. I know several hunters who don't take 1/3 of my precautions. They don't give much thought to their entry and exit and therefore bump their deer every trip to their stand...don't give much thought to prevailing wind directions when picking their locations...hunt on the ground or 10 ft up in a tree, which isn't much difference...wash their hunting clothes with regular detergent...and so on. These hunters had better get their buck in the first few hunts or no doubt their probability plummets! Hunters who take every precaution, even to the extent of having a dedicated washer and dryer for hunting clothes, or even raking their walk-in trail to their stand to help sneak in and out without bumping their deer, those hunters could very well push the limits of numerous visits to the same stand before taking a mature buck. Logic would imply their chances still diminish, but when comparing those two types of hunters, those variables and more determine your particular "scale of diminishing returns". [/QUOTE]
