Sometimes I hunt against a strong nor west wind and walk right onto deer.They cant smell or hear you,even in the middle of the afternoon last summer.Walked on to a good stag,he had no idea we were watching him 20 mtrs away.He had a good strong nor west wind blowing in his face and we were down wind of him.His defence system was down in the wind.Didnt shoot him,it was great just watching him feed away.
