I know,stupid question.I was looking at a map of my property.What is the main wind direction during deer season?Or is there one??
scn said:If it is a warm spell, the winds are S-SW. If I luck into a cool snap, the winds generally are from the NW.
de novo said:Last year was the year of the east wind (which is rare) where I hunt. Of course most of my stands were not set up for such a wind.
the only dumb question is one not askedscn said:No, actually it is a GREAT question and one that a deer hunter should try to get an answer to in the initial plotting and planning stages.
The NWS should have some data for your area for the deer season time of year.
On the property I hunt north of TN, it is very rare to get any type of an east wind. If it is a warm spell, the winds are S-SW. If I luck into a cool snap, the winds generally are from the NW.
Sometimes that keeps me out of some great trees, but I've learned the hard way that it is almost impossible to beat the wind.
