RE: The Wind?
Usewind to your advantage.
But it can also blow a hunt for reasons, already stated
Depending on your techniques and style of bowhunting, it can really help a hunt. Here in Kansas it's windy a lot. And those are the best times to spot and stalk.Having that 20-40 MPH wind in your face, when stalking a buck and getting within 30 yards, is a crucial advantage for several reasons.
1. Deer doesn't smell you.
2. Deer will be less likely to see you since you're not the only thing moving.
3. Deer are much less likely to hear you. That is especially important if you're around any trees. Because trying to stalk on dry leaves is nearly impossible.
I love windy days... the only stalking weather I like better is rainy days. Use it to your advantage.
