Thread: Chlorophyll

I try to hunt downwind. Hard to do when a front comes through or the wind is swirling. Nice to have alternative strategies in those cases.

I have noticed while gun hunting that a shooting house blocks at least some of the wind so in isolated cases a person might be able to get by with hunting in a contrary wind. But I know from experience it’s extremely difficult to almost impossible to fool a whitetails nose. Much better to keep the scent away from him.

this is fact , you will never totally diffuse your scent under the scrutiny of a whitetailed deer nose . the key to it is to create a situation that is misleading when your scent does go downwind to the deer and it will happen sooner or later .
deer have a comfort zone and an alert zone and then the get out of dodge zone . if you can mislead one into thinking the scent is from 200 or 300 yards away instead of 25 or 30 yards away it can be a game changer
