I have hunted deer several years now and until this year, I thought windy days meant horrible hunting. That has all changed this year. I live i nthe mountains, and so although my home is in a valley, my best spots to hunt are on ridgetops that can be extremely windy especially 20 ft up a tree. Anyhow the 2nd week of October it got reallt cold and windy, rain also. It was the worst day of bow season. It got light at 7:00 and at 7:30 with tears in my eyes from the wind snot runnin down my face, I told myself 30 more minutes, I couldn't take it. And right then, here he came, decent 8pt., but a definite shooter here. I dropped him in horrible winds. Then, yesterday, we had 20-30 mph winds, with 45 mph gusts. Just plain windy day. Last night at 4:50, same stand, my tree bending back and forth, HERE HE CAME. A nice, heavy horned 8 pt., that I dropped a 50 yards, not a bowkill, but my best buck to date for sure. So this year, both my buck tags got filled on extremely windy days, days that mos guys don't hunt. The deer don't leave the woods when the weather is bad, so as long as ur in there u have a shot. This time of year especially, you have to be in a stand. Anyhow, wind will never keep me out of the woods, it just may make me miserbale while I am there. Maybe get to the stand later, and leave earlier if it really bothers you.
