Default RE: Wind in Your Face Always?

I think a problem some hunters have is they are expecting the same deer they see in the evening to return the very next morning using the same path. I don't pretend to know where everyone hunts but in my area its just not so most of the time. Example: unless its the peak rut I rarely see the same mature buck entering a feeding area in the afternoon/evening and returning the same route the next morning. Deer do have more than one bedding area!

Regarding the wind.....they can't always keep the wind in their face, many times its a crosswind but they will still try to use that to the best of their ability along with other senses. Regarding using their eyes, they do but deer do not have great eyesight, especially looking straight ahead.
