[QUOTE="fairchaser, post: 5450409, member: 10373"] The wind is everything in understanding how deer travel and avoid danger. Our main sense is our vision and there’s is their smell. I try to approach with the wind in my face and set up with the downwind side being open or over an obstacle like water. Deer will avoid that or risk exposure. Also, get as high as possible. I will generally get 30 ft if I can. Even so, you might still get busted! When I rifle hunt, I take advantage of the longer range of the rifle and keep distances of at least 100 yds or more from the deer, often as much as 200-300 yds. This also preserves my stands from over pressure. [/QUOTE]
