Default RE: How I hunt the wind

ORIGINAL: Schultzy

Could you elaborate? How high up are you? Is it at the top of a hill? Are the trails very close in? etc
I've had this work in my favor as well. My stands are sometimes 25' up in a tree and my wind will blow over them at times when there close enough. When there farther away it doesn't work like that.
I have a couple stands set up like this as well. The best example that I have of this is 24' up and the tree is at the highest point in the vacinity. I have had numerous deer come from the downwind direction and I have never had one wind me in that spot.

Another I am only 15' up but I am literally on the edge of a 20' drop-off (you can walk up it but it is difficult) so in effect I am 35' above the deer that would be down wind of me. I have also never been winded in that stand.
