as far as the scent thing, i think yes. how in the heck did the fathers of our country ever hunt deer without the aid of cover scents? and they had to get pretty close also. lots of those folks were lucky to get a bath once a month. and i'll just bet the farm those buckskins would run under the bed at night.

as far as the stand is concerned, in this state you have to haul your stand each time you hunt unless it's on private land and then only with the owners permission can you permantly leave it.

up here the wind blows almost constantly so i always position my self to the position the deer are most likely going to move in from. and when gun hunting i hunt into the wind. covers any noise i make and i don't have to worry about scenting.

good luck in the future hunts lady.
