I've often wondered if a buck can't smell as well when he is running hard, mouth wide open, and tongue hanging out. I've had them get down wind without busting me like this, but I can't say for sure where my scent stream was at that moment.

True that.
You can fool some of the bucks, all of the time, and fool all of the bucks, some of the time, however you certainly can't fool all of the bucks, all of the time.
