Default Question on wind/deer Need HELP

Ok here's the dilemma. I have a spot thats seems very hot right now and I feel the need to hunt it ASAP. (which could be as soon as tonight)

I've seen deer come basically from all sides. But the majority of the deer have come from the South East.However of the3 shootersI've seen here, NONE of them have come in this way..2 came from theSW 1 came fromdue north.

Todays forecast is for a (from the) NW wind @ 17mphso it'll be blowing straight at the majority of the deer entry point.

Tomorrow's forecast is much better BUT small game season comes in so there is the probabilty that deer will be pushed much more than normal.

Given normal conditions I'd wait til tomorrow..just to error on the safe side. But with small game opening and this is a public ground with stocked Pheasants..It will be hit! Now granted I'm back in the woods..not in the brushy rabbit, Pheasant areas..but still I'm sure withall the scent and the fact thatplenty of deer bed in those brushy areas they will be on alert.

So there ya have it..I need to hear your thoughts.
