I'm not gonna spend a bunch of money on that stuff either, but I assure that the wind is MUCH more of an issue in the hardwood swamps and pine thickets than it is open areas. I totally agree about foreign scents, and around here, any human scent is foreign. Until hunting season, there is zero intrusion by humans into these areas. Not all animals and areas are the same.
Absolutely..we have some heavy cover along the East Loop river we hunt besides the wide open and I certainly won't push a bad position just for the sake of being there if the winds aren't in my favor.
