Default RE: hunting+wind=deer not moving?

In some cases, the wind will keep the deer from moving, especially if you have relatively flat terrain without good wind breaks or low lying areas....very similar to the area I hunt.
If that is the case, you want to be out there as soon as the wind stops.

The deer will feed about every 6-8 hours. If a storm or high winds keep them bedded, as soon as things die down, they will be out there feeding, and feeding hard. The same normally holds true when a storm is moving in. Right before the storm gets there, deer will normally feed in preparation for the bad weather.
