RE: Hunting the wind
It's certainly tough...especially with a lock on. I use a climber mostly and find it very useful for being able to adapt to this situation. The wind may not be perfect, but by moving my location....sometimes only a matter of a few yards...from one side of a path to the other, you can often beat the wind. In addition to moving, I get as scent free as I can, hunt from as high in the tree as I feel comfortable and hope for the best.
Best of luck.
