[QUOTE="docg, post: 3861872, member: 15367"] Wind is important and no amount of scent control will prevent a mature deer from smelling you under the right circumstances. However, during the rut the wind is your friend. Most of the better bucks I've seen during the rut are hunting does into the wind. Meaning, they are actually coming from downwind. I killed two pretty good bucks this year that came in directly downwind of me, but in both instances I had a doe upwind or close. So I pay close attention to the wind, but during the rut I don't let it 100% predict where I hunt. I do everything I can to control and cover my scent then hope a doe's scent is more attractive than mine is offensive. BTW- both times those bucks came in downwind, I was 35 feet off the ground.
