Default RE: Deer hunting in high winds or rain??

Yeah, tell me all about high winds... blech! My time in the woods is limited because I can only go when my kids are at their dad's for the weekend. We had nothing but high wind last Saturday, saw a whopping two does and that was after we had gone back to the truck and drove down the side road that borders our field. We saw two does heading to our stand so we parked back in the field and ran to our stand! We got there with about 3 minutes to spare, there they were, in an opening (well, one of them) and she was about 150 yds out, too far out of my range. She disappeared behind two lone trees and didn't emerge, so I am guessing she had been spooked from the neighboring woods across the street and ended up bedding down behind those trees for some shelter. Never got a shot.

Usually our land is booming with does and bucks alike, but not this time. I chalked it up to the winds, 20-30mph.
