Gotta try the 'smoking clothes' thing
Brian
Have never heard of that before.
Too, sounds as though you hunt some of the same areas as far as wind goes as I do. When I first started hunting from a tree stand, I tried to play the wind and was wore out by noon the first day climbing up and down trees.
I still try to play the wind but also try to mask my scent.
On very calm days with no wind, this being hilly country, I try to hunt high ground in the morning and bottoms during the evening.
Another scent masking trick that works for me on stand is cutting an apple and placing them around my stand. My hunting clothes are washed in scent free detergent,air dried and hung in the barn.
