RE: Too much wind?

yes the windier it gets the more they are on alert i think it cuts down on what they can hear around them. eventualy you reach a point where is hurricane winds and they will stay put and ride the storm out

In Texas the wind is always blowing. Anything over 20+ is a pain, but you can't kill anything from the house.

Depends. IF you have funnels or cliffs/ledgesto hunt, wind can be your friend. If you are on flat land, it sucks.

Thanks for the replies, I was kinda getting at, Do you think it curtails deer movement above a certain velocity?

I don't think so. I killed a deera couple of years ago with athirty mile an hour wind in my face. And yes, it was with abow.

Wind alone would never stop me from hunting, although it would change the way I hunt.

Ditto, I've killed a couple nice bucks in very windy conditions...it was during the rut though, and nothing was keeping these bucks from trying to 'do their business'.

Once I thought it was getting too windy, then things got crazy and when it stopped, I was in Kansas. Funny, all the deer there looked like little people.
