Living in West Texas, we do get some pretty strong winds. I will still try to get out and hunt anyways. There have been several times that I will go out in the evening while it is really strong winds, and it seems that about thirty minutes before the sun goes down, all the wind stops blowing (I don't know if that is a Texas thing or what) and you can see all the deer begin to move to get to the feeders. Seems like a great time to hunt to me.
