I have about come to the conclusion that I would "always" rather hunt where the buck/deer will have a wind quartering to their nose rather than straight at them or straight behind them. Is my logic screwed up in thinking this way?
IMO....yes.
Buck leaves a bedding area/thicket.....with the wind at his back. He can now wind-check the danger area (where he just came from) as he feeds.......and use his eyes and ears to protect him in the open area in front of him.
Your way of thinking.....he's unprotected in the area where he just came from.
