Default RE: Windy Days for Early Season Deer

I have had my best hunting experiences on windy days at noon. Yes, I'm serious. The deer will stay near their beds so you must still hunt. Keep the wind in your face. When the wind kicks up, you walk. Your footsteps will not be heard among the rustling leaves and branches. When the wind stops, so do you. Freeze, look around carefully. I have gotten so close to deer that I could jump on them and ride em out of the woods.

I try to bring extra arrows on windy days because I get so many more shots.

Do it. The best part is that you are usually the only one in the woods. No one hunts on windy days or at noon.
