Does wind direction matter when using deer scent?

Yes. Wind direction is one of the most important factors when using deer attractants. Deer rely on their sense of smell to detect both other deer and potential danger. Position your scent source and hunting setup so the wind carries the attractant toward likely deer travel routes while minimizing the chance of deer detecting you.
