RE: wind?
Last evening was very windy with rain and I could see several deer running around the field like they were running a derby. Tonight was windy but dry and the deer were moving around a little slower. I've been tying a 2 ft. piece of ribbon to a nearby limb in my ground stands so that I can watch the wind direction - tonight the ribbon didn't know which way to go.
I agree with the others about the rut - wind makes no difference....
