How many of you guys honestly hunt the wind? I remember Gregh made a very detailed post a while back and he hunts the wind religiously.This year I am going to really try to hunt the wind correctly, especially if I am hunting a mature buck. Now, if I'm going to try to harvest a doe one day then I may not pay as much attention to it, still I'm going to give it a lot of thought in my stand locations and think I will see moer mature bucks as well.

My first self-control test will be this weekend. It's opening day here in Virginia and I have a stand hung in a transition zone and staging area (oak flat) that is a pinch point between two and possibly three major bedding areas. I'm hunting a 125" buck named Lefty cause he has a split left G2 and think I have a GREAT chance of not only seeing him but hopefully harvesting him as well. But, to hunt this area I need a SSW wind and this Saturday its calling for a NW wind at 4 mph. Now I know that 4 mph is virtually nothing, but still I don't want to ruin the area on opening day. If things get rough (and I lose my patience) then I may hunt this area with a NW cause the way the land lays a NW or WNW won't hurt me as bad as anything from the east. But anway, its going to be hard not hunting this area that as SO much promise.

Enough of my rambling though! Just excited for Saturday.
