ive been out when it 20+and i have seen deer but somtimes ive notice dusk the wind somtimes dies down, and ive took to deer like that ,all along thinking earlier i should get out of my stand and go home case the trees were swaying so much. like today in ma, i didnt go 45+ winds but tommrow their saying 20 but ill be out then,45+i think is to much, good luck and just make sure your in a good strong tree
