I love the wind until it hits 20 mph sustained winds with gusts of 30 mph. At that point it seems to slow them down some. I personally have only hunted Mississippi, Arkansas, & Illinois, however I prefer a good 10-15 mph wind in all of those states. I have actually noticed the opposite to be true. If the wind is blowing 10-15 and the wind dies and gets calm, I might as well go home because I am not going to see anything (most of the time).
