Lets ask this question again in another 10 years and see if some opinions change. I'm not talking about a varible wind. If I go to a stand that needs a south wind not to spook what I'm looking for and the wind goes North than my fat can is moving to another location. It might only be 20 yds, or across the field to another location. Sure deer come from every direction but I'm not hunting deer'sssss Im hunting a deer that I have put a ton of scouting and planning into. Do we know what a buck is thinking? I do, and I bet afew of others will say the same. I'm not talking ESP here but just a good understanding of a bucks body language. Got news for ya, big mature bucks will usually never blow, he will just turn around and slowly walk away. I had a big bastard bed down 60 yds from me one morning. The wind was in my face andI was going to be super quiet until he decided to get up and move along. I knew where he was heading. I felt the wind shift and hit the back of my neck, it wasnt 3 seconds he stood up and walked 180 from the source. I have seen it over and over. Its just another level of hunting guys. If your happy killing what ever happens along than thats great and fun.Sometimes you can luck into a great buck doing that. If your picking out a single buck, the dominant buck, than tactics have to change.
