I think a lot depends on what you feel is around and if you are actually hunting a specific buck.
My situation dictates that I do not feel there is a mature buck bedded on the property I hunt or at least using it as his primary bedding area. I do my best to still not intrude upon, or sit for long periods of time with winds blowing directly into the good bedding areas. BUT in a very shifty wind, which often is what I will get, I’ll stick it out to whack a doe as I am usually not in a very intrusive spot.
Once my focus shifts to bucks, I pick my stands according to winds, but its also that time of year where they are seeking/chasing and could come from anywhere. Rarely do I hunt in a spot where I have one overwhelming direction. If I was in one, and the wind went bad, then I would move. But for the most part, my hunting spots are multi-directional, and I’m not pin pointing a specific mature buck. I’m looking to catch ANY mature buck in his search for does.
Is this spot you hunt for doe's in the same woods/area?
