I hunt a farm that has a consistent East thermal every morning until about 9:00a. It doesn't matter what direction the slope is facing. When the sun warms the slope, It will usually be a west with which ever north or south is happening at the time. Most of the deer movement that I hunt there are moving north and south. During youth season and muzzleloader it is DEADLY to setup on the eastern side of the farm facing into that thermal then when it starts to switch, going across the pasture field and sneaking into a patch of woods with the wind in our face. We usually don't make it to our stands because the deer don't have a clue we're there and seems like they haven't noticed the wind has recently changed. I've noticed it has to be a constant 9mph+ north, south or west to overcome the thermal. Anyone have a similar place?
