'hunting the wind' is a simplification...you have to base it on where the deer are MOST likely to move. You state there is a bedding area behind you, well that would mean you want the wind NOT to blow that way--so one direction is ruled out.Around most stands deer will be able to get downwind a fraction of the time--so to think you can find a spot that is not so, is probably not true. Play the probabilitieswith the wind.

One thing I found interesting is that you said your stand is on the top of a ridge--is is possible to hang your stand in a way that your scent can be carried out over the valley? I have a couple stands like this, but I have found that with a moderate breeze, and stands hung at least 18 feet off the ground, with the terrain dropping off sharply downwind--you can avoid deer almost ever busting you. Your scent would be over thier heads.

To hunt with the wind in your face is generally a bad rule--deer move better with a crosswind it seems to me. Makes sence if you think about it.
