It takes extra time to hunt the wind?
I don't have dozens of stands on each farm. So I can't sit out, just because of the wind. I sometimes base my stand choiceon the wind, normally it's just on the best, closest stand to where I'm staying.Normally when I'm deer hunting, my dad's waterfowl hunting. He's my ride to my spot, so I don't have a ton of time to get somewhere. I still have the "gun hunter" mentallity, where I just need to be within 75 yards of the deer. I'm getting better about that though.
Rory, you lost me here too. don't you just pick a stand that plays the wind?
Todd, I hope my above answer helped answer this question too. I'm not really sure how to explain the situation[&:]. Sorry.
I understand Rory. To hunt the wind correctly doesn't take 'extra time' on stand, it takes extra time before the actual hunt. You said it yourself, limited access to stands can heavily influence how effectively you hunt the wind. Limited time also means you may not have time to move a stand mid-season after you've patterned a deer. It's like you said, its hard to explain, but coming from someone close to your age and have been in your position before, I get what you are saying.
