Default Winds on the farms I hunt- opinions.

This is in reply to the odor eliminating clothing thread. These two farms are the ones I bowhunt the most. The yellow is stands, and I have them lettered for reference. I'll list what direction I normally see deer travel. These two farms are flat, with levees that help funnel deer in certain spots.

Yellow dot- stand
Yellow letter- stand reference-
blue- flooded for waterfowl
red- border




Stand A- no personal experience. You'd think that in the mornings you'd try to catch them to the bedding (all of the surrounding woods) and in the evening you'd want to catch them going to the food.

Stand B-Any direction, depending on where the duck hunters are.

Stand C- All directions here too. There's a shelf right along the river, that the deer travel heavily. The stand is on top of a levee so that you're looking at both sides of the levee.

Stand D- Deer can approach from any direction. Great morning and evening spot. I don't think there can bea good/bad wind for this stand.

Stand E- No personal experience.

Stand F- No personal experience. Deer are funelled here because of the oxbow pond to the west, and flooded beans/corn to the east.

Stand G- Every direction. I doubt there's a good/bad wind here too.
