Either you guys have mystical powers or you've never hunted from a tree stand for more than about 5 minutes in the Mtns. :dunno:

I don't have mystical powers, but @Jonathan_S does.

Haha that’s why I changed it “try to” keep the wind in the face :tup:
I moved to ground blinds for my stand hunts, three years ago because mountain winds are so aggravating! This year, we had a few awful moments due to wind and thermal changes in the elk woods.

Anyone ever had and experience with these or something similar?

No personal experience. I've heard of similair DIY projects, here is an example. It is 100% fact that ozone breaks down and reduces odor.

Gotcha :tup: So in regards to archery hunting whitetail deer from a treestand I believe in a fairly strict scent control regiment. I also decide which stand I'm going to sit in for the day based off of the wind forecast for the day. The fact is though when you sit for 10-12 hours in the woods in a tree the wind is going to swirl. If a scent control regiment can keep a buck in front of you for 5 extra seconds or get him to come to 30 yards instead of 60 then that can be the difference between dead deer and tag soup. I would also argue that most archery hunters who consistently kill MATURE whitetail bucks have a strict scent control regiment. If you rifle hunt or archery hunt/spot and stalk from the ground then yes play the wind and keep it in your face. I don't get nearly as crazy about scent control when hunting those ways but I also know that it wont hurt anything.

when chasing bugles in hot September though, trying to face the wind is about all I can do :chuckle:
I’ve got a spot that will require a tree stand to be hunted properly but I am going to hang it at least 35 feet to help dimishish the effect of swirling wind.
