Default What to do when wind changes/swirls?

A stand I hunt has a river just to the west of me and is a funnel of woods between the river and a field...only about 30 yards wide. That being said, a westerly wind blows my scent right into a bedding/feeding area so I need a wind that's somewhat easterly to hunt it safely but it seems like the wind swirls there quit a bit. When I get into stand the wind is usually in my favor but as I hunt it changes a lot...what should I do? Give up and move the stand somewhere else? Only hunt it on days with a strong enough wind to push my scent over the river? Hunt until the wind changes then go find a different stand? I do practice any scent eliminating stuff I can do but that can only do so much.
