RE: Wind effect deer activity?
In my opinion it depends on a number of other factors. I have hunted, seen lots of movement and killed deer on very windy days...when that windy day was right before a storm front and heavy weather event. In that situation I think they realize what is happening and know that they better move/eat now...before the heavy rain/snow/whatever. IF that high wind is only a high wind and nothing is behind it...I think they tend to lay low until it passes.
I have no doubt that they feel a difference in barometric pressure and know when things are going to happen. I figure they are much better at predicting the weather than our professional weather folks.

Good luck.
