Rory..take it from me...if you can't hunt the wind..then stay home.
Some people would never get a chance to hunt.
HCH has a valid point.
You might as well not hunt if you've "told" the deer where you are. Does anyone think that if a deer smells them that they will still come by?
No, I don't think they will. However,
I'd rather be in the woods and see nothing...than not hunt at all. College really gets in the way of hunting on my farm, I basically get weekends.
I'm trying to score some land closer to the University. Hope it works out, for my sake.
I used to think that way too. But what you end up doing is educating the deer and ruining
future hunts from that stand.
If I hunted your situation I would find a different woods to hunt when the wind was wrong. Once again this is a situation that you should have addressed before season. Also, sometimes hunting the "wrong" wind is a good thing. If you know what trail a buck is using coming out of your swamp and the wind is wrong you could set up on the side of that trail and the deer -thinking he can use the wind- might come out because his nose tells him it's safe. This is something that Miles Keller talks about on setting up on a buck.
