It was a good post and appreciated. I too do my best to hunt the wind. Perhaps not to the Nth degree but is is worth looking into. I am with who-ever said once a hill, mountain, tree line, or any other type of wind-break is introduced at your exact stand, those degrees are thrown off. You need to know what a wind direction means at your location sometimes the perfect general wind condition produces a swirl at your spot..(anyone watch the Masters? Hole 12 come to mind?).

I'd like more information on your approach or departure. At some point you are going to break the rule of hunting the wind. It's impossible not too. Sometimes you have to avoid areas to not spook deer by sight or sound and throw wind into the mix and you can't avoid them all. Also if you park north and walk in, into the wind, leaving, it's blowing the opposite way. Depending on where you hunt, sometimes you are limited on parking areas.
