Default RE: Wind direction- Am I correct?

You're going to need to know where the bedding areas are and where you expect the deer to enter the fields. I would NOT hunt the field edge stands in the evening when the wind is blowing into them. I agree w/ jm , a parallel wind would be better. I'm not a big fan of hunting field edges anyway. Thety're too risky to me. If the wind swirls you'll educate all the deer on the property.


The stand in the corner is a great pinch point , but I'd move it back about 50-60 yrds. into the woods and watch the trail that skirts the corner. I know it's there.Wait for a southerly or east wind.The stand on the top I'd move it to the right where the trees jut out into the field and wait for a W, NW,SW wind.
The bottom stand looks o.k. for a W,NW wind if the trails are to the north.

I'm no expert, just my opinion. Good Luck.
