First, the wind is your best friend when used correctly, not very often when hunting in mountains have I experienced the wind swirling like you can have in dense wooded areas. The thermals are strong and when utilized in a spot and stalk can make for an exciting hunt. The thermals= you can google this, but in the morning-early afternoon the wind will blow uphill- its the hot air comming in forcing the cool air out. Just the opposite in the evening, the wind shifts and blows down a canyon/ mountian forcing the hot air out and cool air in. Know the times this is going to happen and dont get caught off gaurd. Talk to locals or go a couple of days early to get the feel of the place. Enjoy!
