Forget the wind, just hunt?

[Bukmastr]

Forget the wind, just hunt. Who has not heard that slogan? Well the argument might never cease. However after seeing an episode of Mythbusters today, and watching Adam and Jamie trying to trick a bloodhounds nose with all kinds of myths, I came up with an idea!
I got onto there site and posted on there "Myth idea" forum, where you enter myths you would like them to solve on TV. I asked them to find out if its a myth or fact that you can fool a big bucks nose. If you have a minute, go to there forum and post to my link asking them to do that episode... I for one would really like to see it!!! Heck, you might even have something to add to my idea to make it better!!!

Might be intriguing. I believe the wind plays a large part in hunting. Hunting skills play another major role.
I know all sorts of wildlife will approach when I use buck scent when doing photography in the woods.
That's my hunting... 8O
btw...that's a dandy buck you're posing with.

I saw that show too and knew what the outcome would be from first hand experience. A few years ago I took my dog to 'tracking training' to get his certificate. When I showed up for the first lesson the instructor was wearing rubber hip waders! I thought my dog would never be able to follow any track she laid down and told her so (all hunters know that rubber boots cut your scent right?)....she said "Watch this!" My dog followed every track she laid down perfectly and it changed my whole outlook on scent and hunting.
I would love to see what the Mythbusters have to say about carbon suits.

It's interesting to see what animals are attracted to different scents. I don't know what species you're trying to photograph but one of the best deer lures I've ever used to get photos is coyote urine. All the deer in the area seem to want to come check it out.

I'm not sure what the scent is...something generic I found on eBay. The next time I make a scent selection, I'll specify coyote urine.
