Dead Down Wind proudly celebrates Karmin Kilpin, who recently harvested an incredible 200 and 2/8-inch, 19-point whitetail buck in Southern Wisconsin. The hunt, which took place on November 9th, is a testament to both Karmin’s skill and preparation, as well as the importance of scent control in the field.

Karmin shared her remarkable story: "I arrowed a 200 and 2/8 19-point whitetail in Southern Wisconsin, 15 yards in a scrape with my wind blowing directly to him. I had the advantage. Using Dead Down Wind products, I knew I wouldn’t get caught by this once-in-a-lifetime buck! Dead Down Wind saved me!"

Karmin relied on Dead Down Wind’s Wind Detector, Deodorant, and Field Spray to give her the confidence to outsmart a deer of this caliber, proving that meticulous scent management can make all the difference in high-stakes situations.

Teri Quinn, Director of Marketing at Dead Down Wind, extended her heartfelt congratulations:
