well for starters not knowing the terrain,,its hard to say what is best,, but where i hunt east wind is pretty rare, and i dont seem to se much activity during an east wind,, but that may just be coincidence.. But you said the road goes northwest, and the other leg goes southwest,, if this is true you can put the blind on the outside of the bend,, east of the road, looking to the west, then your best wind would be a west wind,, but it will depend on where the deer come from.. As far as them smelling your boots,, if you use scent precautions, and spray down with scent killer and wear rubber boots, i dont think they will get to spooky about your scent trail,, just hope they dont come in down wind of your blind.. Hope i helped out some.
