Default RE: How would You hunt high wind?

High wind is the best time to still hunt bedding areas. I killed a nice 8 pt. one day during the rut and a high wind situation. Stalked a creek bed up into a bedding area moving about as slow as a snail. Spotted the buck about 40 yards and feeding away. Tried to decide what to do when all of a sudden he turned and came walking in my direction. I went to full draw, he walked up to the edge of the creek and I released the arrow when he was standing broadside at 4 yards. Man, if that buck had ran toward me, I'd be dead right now. Never seen a deer move so fast! He died about 30 yards later.

Try it sometime! High winds make them a little nervous and if you put yourself in the right spot you may get lucky on an otherwise crappy day.
