RE: The wind factor!
I just hunt the wind, period....... I only hunt with the wind in my face or at a crosswind........
I've heard it said that if a buck can't get the wind in his face, he will take a route that provides him the best visibility......... In other words, if he can't smell it, he will rely on his eyes in the open terrain to find danger...... I've never noticed it to be true, but then again I never hunt the open hardwoods either..........
