Default RE: Rule of thumb on wind?

Think of this: In high winds arrow flight will be a problem in compensating, but think in terms of the animal. Deer, Elk, Moose, Caribou all depend on the senses of smell, sound, and sight; in that order.

When winds are high the animals have lost most, if not all, of their two most important senses smell and sound. I believe and plan that while they will move during these periods, they will stay very close to thick cover and will spend most of this period bedding.
