Sounds to me like you just don't hunt, Germ....if you want to play it "textbook".....or get down from your current setup when you feel the wind switch. Just take a chainsaw and start whacking limbs on your way over to your new stand. the deer don't seem to mind this, apparently. As long as you're not in hunting gear.....they know you're not a threat!
LOL.....
You're smarter than they are. Go hunt. You'll do the right thing.
In MI I would slipped down in my Boat and move like I did last year. Then call you and count to 16
In Ohio I am limted to were I can hunt. I hate it when wind switches. Looks good in the Morning, but in prime time for me it might just do a 180. Sorry there is not much I can do for that. I am puzzled, I am looking over my map right now. I think I have the spots picked, but exit will be tough for me.
When I look to hunt a stand the wind is as important as walking out and in to me. Makes no sense to sit in a stand with the right wind, and then blow your scent in bedding areas walking out and bean field coming back in. That is the issue right now. If the wind switches to the SE, I will blow my scent right to where they are feeding. I might just take my blind and hunt what the wind gives me.
I am hunting with two other people, so I am limted on where I can go.
