I read about thislast year,but I can't seem to recallwhere. At what wind speeddo deer generally reduce or stop their movement? I seem to recall at 0-10 MPH no change; 10-15 MPH off moderatly; 15+ MPH only if necessary. Thoughts?
Just my 2 cents, but based on my hunting experience those numbers do not make sense to me. So, at 16 mph, the deer would only be moving only if necessary? I don't believe that.
I have seen/shot deer with winds well over 20 mph and these deer were not being pushed nor were they aware they were being hunted. If the weather is nasty or stormy with high winds, that may be a factor in keeping deer movement to a minimum but not on clear, crisp, windy or breezyNov days.
