Default RE: Deer hunting on windy days?

Wind makes Hunting tough for alot of reasons. A deer lives through its sense of smell just as we live through our sense of sight. I believe that once the human scent is processed by a deer then they live with that as a danger warning forever. Your sense of hearing is also impaired on windy days - how many times have you caught a deer moving by sound alone. Also hearing deer vocals helps also and having them hear your mock deer vocals helps. Nonetheless get out there and give it a whirl in the wind. Keep the wind in mind when setting up or stalking. Maybe you can try a scent lock suit to diminish your smell. I use them and have had great luck - remember your rubber boots, there probably your greatest help in getting there unnoticed.
