I have no doubt that we are bothered by the wind much more than the deer are. If the wind is so bad that I feel it is unsafe to hunt from the trees then I will hunt from the ground. I have seen and have taken good deer on some days when the wind was very bad. I don't like to let the wind be the deciding factor on whether I hunt or not.

The one thing that comes to mind concerning high winds is the effect it has on arrow flight. No matter how well tuned your bow may be, if you shoot into a cross wind you will see the enhanced version of "archers paradox". So keep that in mind when you are trying to "thread the needle" through an opening. I learned this lesson the hard way and at the most inopportune time. I doubt I will ever forget seeing an enormous B&C buck walk (run) out of my life forever when my arrow could not straighten out in time to zip through an opening that under normal conditions would have been a chip shot...it still hurts to think about it.
