deer and wind

[diamond hunter]

So,tomorrow is supposed to be pretty windy. What are yalls opinions about deer movement and wind?Do they more more,same or less?Im just looking for a rutting buck in particular and was wondering ,as a rule,if very windy was better in fields or woods or does it matter? Thanks

I'd set up a 80-100 yards downwind of some sort of windbreak- a cedar thicket, a ridge running perpendicular to the wind, etc. Bucks will cruise just downwind where they can scent check these areas without getting beat up by the wind too bad. My best hunts have been in the wind this year.

Good time for still hunting too. Killed one of my top 3 bucks that way

I saw a nice tall 6 pt when the wind was up Fri. He came down and got right behind me in my wind stream and stopped for about 5 min. He definitely winded me, and then he jumped out about 10 yds, and then eased on into the pine thicket.

Right now if your does are moving your bucks are moving. I've seen it work both ways; with and without the wind.
