The wind is fickle. It shifts, dies, blows, &swirls all the time. It's a real pain in my arse most days. I like the idea of breaking down the direction to very precise increments and the method I use while similiar is probably not quiteas accurate. On the main two farms I hunt we have a fllag pole and my dad and I super impose a degreedcompass on a zoomed in aerial photo of the farms precisely where the flagpoles are. It makes it easy to look at the flag and then the map and geta good idea of the precise line the wind is on (at that moment any way) and you can then correlate that to the rest of the farm with a scale (straight edge). The flag works when it is nice and windy but we rigged up super light mono we put wind catchers on for when wind is light.

Then I pick a stand and go get set up and later the wind shifts 180 and messes me all up.
