I've had deer follow my trail in to the tree & stand directly downwind of me as recently as Saturday, but I feel sure they knew I was there. I've hunted the same spot & had deer blow at me from about 100 yards away. I don't think deer respond the same way twice to tell you truth, they do what they feel at the moment.
I do use acorn cover scent on my boots and occasionally spray doe pee when they are near the rut, but I think I get almost as many negative reactions to it as I do positive.

When y'all figure out what they'll do next please let me know.
