Wind
I have never seen a deer on days that the wind was up to 10 or 12 miles an hour. I have always gone with the assumption that they cant smell well on windy days, so they bed down until it calms down.
What do yall think? Take in mind I live in north west Texas where there is not much tree cover and very flat land.
