[QUOTE="catman529, post: 5214849, member: 9284"] I rarely hunt mountains, but I hunt steep ridges that have the same kind of effect on the wind. From my experience the most predictable wind is in the evening when the sun dips behind the horizon and the wind dies down and the air starts to get cool. That’s when the thermals reverse and the wind starts dropping down into the hollers. It’s almost better to hunt the downwind side of a ridge on a day with little to no wind, because thermals will take over and wind will generally blow uphill during the day and then fall down in the evening when it cools off. In the early morning the thermals will still be dropping down until the sun rises and starts to warm things up. [/QUOTE]
