I didn't know a place existed that the wind didn't blow from almost every direction. Especially when I start hunting
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’ve bowhunted for 20 years. Wind discipline is critical. I’ve never found anything that completely gets rid of human scent. I check the wind religiously before I go, and on those days when it changes I move. Fortunate to be able to hunt a place with several stand options. To each his own. 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
