When it's rut time, and the bucks are moving, which is basically when I put my best effort into hunting, sometimes I just ignore the dam wind and hunt a stand if it's seeing buck traffic. This time of year, at least in sw Pa, with cold fronts moving in and out, you'll pull your hair out trying to play the wind perfectly. I don't have 52 stand sites, so sometimes, I just gamble. Mostly because if a buck winds me from one direction, I may kill another approaching from the other direction 10 minutes later. And sometimes, during that time of year, you'll see bucks that are just passing through, and don't even bed anywhere near that area. The biggest trick is playing it safe with the does. If you keep them on your good side, the bucks will hang around. But sometimes, if a travel corrider is hot, you gotta hunt it. It's only a deer. It ain't the end of the world if one winds you. Another will come by at a different time, from another direction.
