Scentloc etc

You know...this is kind of a pet peeve for me. How did ANYONE kill a deer before we had scentloc clothing and deer scents and camouflage clothers etc. As a kid...we had very few deer in our area. If we saw a deer while on the school bus it was a surprise the sucker didn't turn over with all the boys on that side of the bus. Had no camo...no deer scents...and no no scent soap(good ol Ivory soap). I still hunted and stand hunted and I always got my share...and a few others also at times. We learned to watch the wind...pick good areas to stand in and learned how to stand still or move slowly when still hunting. We also learned how to walk in an Eastern Shore woods and not make as much noise as a deer. Very seldom got busted...and when I did I was almost always really close but not shooting. Technology isn't the answer y'all. It is a help...but learning the tradecraft is the answer, Deer are evolving too. They look up in the trees nowdays. They didn't for a long time...but they learned. Hunters need to learn also... Sorry..Rant over!!. I also missed the largest deer I ever saw just because I didn't look at where I wanted to hit...All I could see was the horns. He was better than a 200 class deer. Oh man..what a bummer!! Snuck up on him at about 20 yds when he finally saw me. I had a fixation on his rack....and just plain missed an easy running shot
