Default HELP!! I don't understand WIND!

I'm really into bow hunting!! Most of my relatives and friends don't understand how I can be into something that i have not had much sucess at. Yea I've killed a few deer, small bucks but am focused on deer management and only shooting wall hangers for the last 2 years. I have not seen a mature whitetail buck for years. Until the other day, I saw a nice 10 point. I know the direction that he COMES OFTEN, but one can never know where a buck comes from always during rut.

Now to my question. I DONT UNDERSTAND WIND AND HUNTING A STAND. I know that you want your stand to be downwind of where your buck comes out of. How is it possible to know where he is going to come from in a particular morning or afternoon? I dont want to ruin my chances of getting this buck and feel that wind is one reason I have had little success.
