You can accomplish this in as little as 20 -40 yards especially if using a climber.
If I'm hunting a trail and the wind changes I could easily move to the other side of trial.
Charlie I know this.....and I hunta climber almost exclusively. I try my darndest to not only play the wind.....but in 46 hunts....I hunted the same tree, only twice, last year. I subscribe to the practice to a certain point......but then I figure I've done all I can do. If the wind shifts ....I ride it out. I know I've killed deer this way, too. My first was killed this way. He was with 20 or more that came from downwind of me.
