Hunting the Wind - Question
I know many say to hunt with the wind in your face or make sure the wind is blowing towards your stand and not towards the woods where the deer are potentially located. However will deer still approach from the same direction if the wind is at their back (thus a favorable wind)?
Imagine you are hunting and the wind is blowing from the woods towards your stand (say you are on field edge or 50yds in the bush). I would guess a mature buck wouldn't just walk on his usual path with the wind at his back, but instead parallel the field until he was cross wind or even downwind if possible, thus your stand placement is useless even though the wind is favorable.
Is this typically the case or will a mature buck follow the same path even if the wind is not favorable for him?
