RE: I always hear this story...
I think they're saying if it shifts and stays that way they'll do it. I will. BUT, I'm not going to jump out a tree with a momentary shift of the wind either. Of course every momentary shift does contaminate to some extent territory I wish it hadn't We have to accept those changes, but a little whiff can put deer on alert. The closer they are the worse it is. I will move if the wind shifts and really blows were I don't want it to. That said, I check the weather every night before a hunt and for the next few days to see what's happeningl. Hell, I watch the weather all fall just about anytime the TV is on. If you know your area you'll know what a certain wind will do for a certain area. Then all you have to do is sort out the thermals and the occasional weird wind, terrain, WRONG WAY winds that occur... and they do. Wind floaters are great.
