[QUOTE="Headhunter, post: 5122083, member: 652"] One of the reasons when I hear hunters say "Hunt the wind, I have to have this or that wind to hunt this spot, etc", I always ask, if you know that why don't you kill every deer you want since you know better than the deer where they are traveling, whether it be to an area or leaving an area. Deer what they want, when they want, and they can for sure travel a long ways, I think so many times when someone thinks a spot has been killed by overhunting, which I believe for sure happens and I am sure I have killed spots by overhunting them, but I believe deer much of the time just use a different area and if you don't have access to it or you do have access but you don't hunt that area, then you don't see the deer. I know there are places, very few IMO, that you are wasting your time if you hunt with the wrong wind, well if you don't adjust to the wind when you get to the spot, but I have never looked at the weather forecast and thought I could not hunt an area or a spot because of predicted wind direction, not once. I cannot even remember all the times I have been told, "the wind is wrong, don't that spot or that stand", only to go hunt it and kill a deer, several times kill a great buck. I love the look on their face when they realize they don't know where the deer are going to travel even though they thought they knew better than the deer what they were going to do. Most of the time, if you look at the forecast and get to where you are hunting, just like the predictions for rain, snow, warm, cold, etc. the predicted wind direction is wrong anyways. And I am sure I have spooked deer, because of the wind, it happens. But I do I know how many deer you will see or kill if you are not hunting because you think the wind is wrong. [/QUOTE]
