[QUOTE="Headhunter, post: 5199090, member: 652"] Nope, I wouldn't, not even close. If true, explain, how not only multiple deer, but multiple bucks approach the same spot within minutes of each other or even almost at the same time but they all come from different directions. How is that? Are the bucks, especially the mature bucks, are they retarded, are they lost, do they know they are only supposed to approach with the wind in their face, did you not "send them the memo", etc.? I fully agree and know deer use wind, watch them for just a bit and it is obvious. Can they keep the wind in their face 24/7, heck even for just an hour or so, 100 percent of the time? Of course not. Do I do my best to use the wind as well as I can GUESS when I get to where I want to hunt, for sure. Do I worry about it if I can't, not one bit and I have killed several really nice bucks and several mature bucks and blown to many chances to count at the same type bucks (nothing to do with the wind but blew my chance for many other reasons) at a bunch of bucks. Even though I don't agree with him much of the time, BSK nailed it, deer learn hunters and the hunters patterns very well. Probably way better than hunters learn deer patterns. One of the best places to hunt is the area everyone says DON'T hunt there, we never hunt there because deer don't use that area. When I am told the wind is wrong for a spot, that is usually my first pick for a spot to hunt. [/QUOTE]
