Some people swear by it and I watch it all the time on TV, they get out of their truck walk 75 yards and sit in a tree stand.
You hunt the mountains around here and you dont sweat and stink like a human within the first hour then you have a wonderful gift.

even with all the scentloc clothing, all it takes is a swirling wind and bad breath to send an animal on the run.

The expensive clothing for me has been more about staying dry on the west side of the state where we get pissed on most every muzzleloader season than it has been scent lok.thats a true story,my closet has a bunch of gore and dryplus in it,I would never spend that kind of money on a suit :chuckle:

Elk, same way. Numerous times I have been within an arms lenght of elk...if the wind is right, it is no worries. Just use common sense...try to stay as scent free as you can and pick up something extra if you feel like it (scent block).
But mainly..pay attention to the wind.

If the wind is swirling, I presume the elk will be alerted, but will not have a clue as to direction.
I know I will need lots of rain gear so I can sit in the pouring rain and wait for an elk to come by.

As for sitting in the rain waiting for an elk to come by, I guess it is a technique you can use, I myself like to walk and move.

If the wind is swirling best thing to do in my opinion is to back off and watch from a distance, you also need to watch thermals if there is no wind it will give you away also.x2 on the thermals mid morning they will push back and forth,down when its cool up as it warms,when its swirling,Ive had them wind me.They didnt hang around left the state
