RE: what do You use to check the wind?
Waaaaiiitttttt.......
I FULLY understand the importance of playing the wind....and I do so RELIGIOUSLY.
Buck Huntin Girl.....I'd only ask you this......HOW MANY deer do you NOT see because you've set up "up-wind" of them? You'll never know this......but I used to think that because I wasn't VISUALLY being busted.....or that I wasn't visually seeing deer bust me in my stands.....that I was in my area undetected. Silly me. If I've learned anything.....it's a fact that I've spooked/alerted/been busted by MANY deer that I've never seen. I KNOW that, now. ALL I can do, now.....is try to limit my exposure.....
However......once I'm on stand......I'm committed.
