Wow! We got some pretty intelligent hunters on this post, im impressed. You all have very valid points and opinions. In my 20 years of hunting on my property I have noticed that most of the resident deer travel with the wind at their back. I hunt in rocky Hilly terrain so most of the time the deer are traveling across which runs east and west on my land. So based off my observations whichever way the wind is blowing is the direction I know they will be coming from. I believe they do this cuz they are heading to a preferred bedding area they like based off the wind direction at that time.
