Since most of the time our wind direction here in New England is from the N/NW, if the deer always traveled into the wind, they all would end up in Canada. My point is, deer can travel in any direction. That being said, the deer rely on their keen sense of smell more than anything else. Sensing danger is always key.

Hunting upwind of deer is never encouraged or recommended.
