Seems to me that early season/unpressured and sometimes ruttingbucks do not always circle downwind.

Every MATURE buck I have seen 3 1/2 and older always circled downwind from my stand. The yearlings walk where ever.

I never had any luck rattling crap in NC
As far as grunting if the deer appears and starts to head away, then I will grunt, I also have employed blind calling with a little positive results
So yeah I'm taking a chance

What do you have to loose if you do not?
But we've got some hard-asses that profess to taking NO CHANCES.....yet they admit to grunting/rattling.....and NOT being as clean as they can be (all the while.....they HAVE to know that a smart whitetail will try to get downwind of them). It just doesn't make sense.
My question was somewhat loaded. See you and I agree.
