[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5214919, member: 17"] You're on the lee side of a ridge/mountain, hence you will get a roll-over wind (like the eddy on the backside of a boulder in a stream). How close you are to the top of ridge/mountain will determine how consistent that wind is. Close to the top and the roll-over kicks in only occasionally. More than a 1/3 of the way down the lee side, the roll-over (reverse) wind will be the predominant wind. Of course, the question needs to be asked, what exactly are you hunting? Are you hunting a particular feature or pinch-point that concentrates deer into one spot? Or are you just hunting the side of the mountain expecting parallel travel along the mountain side? If hunting a single spot, the wind is very important. If just hunting the general "paralleling the terrain" movement pattern, the wind is nowhere near as important, as 3/4 of your field of view is upwind or side-wind at any given moment. [/QUOTE]
