My buddy who is hunting in the TX panhandle is ultra scent conscious and won’t wear his hunting clothes in his truck to drive to where he hunts. He keeps two tubs in the back of his truck…one for “scent free” hunting clothes and other to put his “truck” clothes in, and he strips down and changes before walking in to his stand and changes back before heading home. He also carries an ozonics machine to supposedly eliminate scent in his stand. The funny part is that he gets busted by deer smelling him more than anyone I know.🤣
I was texting with him last night, and he said he’s ran deer out on the way to the stand every time he’s been hunting and hasn’t seen a deer while hunting. He hunts in a 6x8 box stand, and I suggested him sleep in his stand one night to see what happens. Him and the people he was with thought that was the stupidest crap they had ever heard. I told him doing stupid crap has put deer heads on my wall, and I’ve definitely done stupider crap than that to kill a big buck.

Who here would sleep in their stand to kill a big buck?

I’ll qualify that I wouldn’t try to sleep in a lean to ladder stand on the side of a tree, but if I had a 6x8 box, I’d definitely be willing to sleep in it if it increased my odds of success.
I tend to sleep in a lean to ladder stand quite often.

My older brother used to be very scent conscious. He had two clothes tubs like described previously, but he’d walk to the stand in his underwear then get dressed when he got there. He’d also take water bottles and a gallon ziplock for his waste. I’ll never forget the first time I saw him pull a bagged turd out of his pack in camp- equally hilarious and off putting.

And I’ve slept outside or in a leaky tent a lot to go hunt deer. I wouldn’t mind sleeping in a blind one bit.
Don't know if I would hunt with the bag pooper...

That is what I was thinking. Each picture he looks like this and doesn't give a good target for a bolt:

View attachment 515875

In that Pic, let him to get within 20 yards and I would shoot between neck and front of shoulder or wait for him to turn.

They don't always present that perfect shot, but you have to wait for a high percentage shot.
