Well I agree, hunting in windy conditions does offer you a chance at a buck or doe, you also have to keep in mind your safety in a stand, and your accuracy with an arrow in high gusty winds decreases. Like I said, winds wont keep me in the house, I just utilize cetain conditions . Nothing more fun than being able to stalk through a section of woods while looking for scrapes etc. Normally I go from point A to point B when going to and from stands so I dont get to venture around the woods much to check for sign etc.
