RE: hunting in gusty winds
I usually don't do much hunting when it's really windy out unless it's going to be the only day that week I'll get to get out in the woods. I've seen deer moving on really windy days, but they were moving rather fast, like trying to get quickly to a bedding area or something spooked them. I try to go out to hunt every chance I get, but if it's way to windy, it will just depend on what else is going on that week.
