[QUOTE="Headhunter, post: 5201523, member: 652"] You may have seen this pic and it is a few years old, (several nice mature bucks, including my largest measuring buck are not in this picture) but in my experience, deer, especially mature bucks, are hard to predict, which is why I never even look at wind direction until I get to the spot I want to hunt and for sure never try to predict what a deer will do with any wind, and when I have tried, I have almost always been wrong, most every time. And most every place I have ever hunted, either got hunted hard by many people or the area around it was hunted hard. I love it when the guys I know, on a couple places, say "you can't hunt his spot with whatever particular wind, a deer will approach from this side with whatever wind, etc." because exactly how most will NOT hunt is exactly how I will hunt. I know most of these are smaller than what most on this site want to kill and most on here would pass any or maybe all of these bucks but I was and am happy with all of them. All of these are from middle Tennessee (except 1 mount - LBL, 1 mount - KY, 2 skulls - Ky) right at half are bowkills, several of them were stalked and bow killed from the ground (in my younger days I was a pretty good "Indian" or at least thought I was) and I rarely if ever pay any attention to the wind, at least for sure not until I get to where I am hunting, maybe I have been doing something wrong, but if so I will keep on being wrong.
