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.
Now I see what you are saying. I always try to have a setup for diff. wind directions. Do you have a climber? They work nice for that. Sometimes you can hunt the spot just by moving over just a bit to suit the wind. If I hunted only out of fixed stands I would at least set one up for each wind. I remember the days of hunting without a car. I used to ride my bike to my hunting spots
. That was a while ago!
