Default RE: High wind hunting?

I like the winds....I have strategy that has paid off for me alot. I find the prominent wind. I then set up next to some thick cover taking advantage of the wind. For example, if the wind is blowing from the North, I find thick cover running from east to west or vice versa. I then hunt off of the thick stuff on the "protected" side,, or in this case due to the North wind, I hunt on the Southern part of the thick stuff. The reason for this is that the deer around here walk tight to the thick stuff, using the wind to smell what is in the thick stuff, and look out into the open to see any threat. Set up downwind on the opposite side of the thick stuff facing away from the thick stuff so they won't see you when they are hanging tight, moving and feeding.
