VERY windy, but rut coming in - Would you hunt today?
It's 60 degrees here in NC, and the wind is blowing 15 mph w/gusts to 30 mph. 2 buddies hunted yesterday (much less wind), and said they saw (and shot) bucks trailing does...so it sounds like the rut is here.
I've always been told that deer won't move in the wind.
I've also always been told to hunt all day during the rut.
What would you do???

We had a ton of does in the field tonight but no sign of bucks....and the does were all tight to the north fence-lines (NE wind tonight)
