Another possibility is that you may be able to hunt a wind that is seemingly wrong for a stand if the wind is blowing OVERthe deerto a place of no concern. I have a couple of stands like this.
Could you elaborate? How high up are you? Is it at the top of a hill? Are the trails very close in? etc
I have one stand that is 23' high in a narrow strip of brush. The distance from the stand to a plowed field (after harvest) behind my stand is 27 yards. The deer trail is 12 yards from my stand. I have another trail 14 yards in front of my stand. I hunt this stand with the wind in my face. By having the trail so close behind me the wind blows right over the deer and out into the field. I have shot bucks on both of these trails. I have a couple more stands like this but this illustrates the point.
