You also have to remember that based on hunter success rates with that one study....you'd be less likely to hear a deer approaching from behind or from the side with all the noise from the wind, leaves, tress creaking, etc. thus taking the hunter'sodds downward from the get-go. Do they lessen their movements and are they more cautious? I'm almost sure of that.

I'd bet that the wind plays a factor to a degree in certain locations and times of day, but I also have taken several deer during bow and gun seasons where the wind was at least 15 to 20 mph or more. Interesting study anyway..
