RE: How I hunt the wind
 

Here ya's go. The two read dots are set's of stands. The green is my food plot within the CRP. The fields are all corn or peas depending. The two woodlots joined by the hedgerow with the smaller being the thick, thick, thick bedding area. Last years buck came from the woods at the food plot stand, called him out and layed him down.

The hedge row is 20 yards wide with a thicket/crp overgrown with shrubs on the opposite side.

I'm not much for reading maps but that whole area reeks of good looking places to kill deer.

There are very few perfect spots to hunt. Sometimes you just have to roll the dice when playing the wind game. good luck this season!

RE: How I hunt the wind
 

I don't know if it's possible, but for starters I'd look at the white spot on the left with a SE wind and the white spot on the right with a NE wind. I know that the easterly wind directions are rather rare, but that spot on the right with a NE wind would have you covering two funnels at once. Why not double your fun! [:-]

RE: How I hunt the wind
 

NE wind would have the wind blowing straight into the funnel to the south.:D

Greg, this is greaat stuff ......

RE: How I hunt the wind
 

Greg, that white dot on the right used to be one spot, years sitting in that white spot and watching deer walk that field moved me to the edge of the field. Perfect thinking and yes, that spot will still produce, several of the bucks I've taken in that field came from that white spot. It's damn good.

The white spot on the left is not a choice. Exactly where that is there are zero trees for a treestand. It's all scrub brush and believe me, if there was a spot for a treestand, I'd have it there already. I've been watching some Pin Oaks that are almost tall enough/large enough for a stand. ;) The area surrounding that left spot is thicker than thick. I had a stand just on the other side of the hedge row, opposite end from that white dot and the brush grew up to the point I cannot even shoot into it anymore. I've talked about taking a dozer in there and creating a "pond" style food plot. It would be covered by all sides for perfect security and still allow me shooting. I think ALL the deer would feel comfortable there during daylight. They may ever bed in it.

From the white spot it would be blowing into the CRP/Food plot.

Of course you'd want to modify your stand location to your advantage.

RE: How I hunt the wind
 

Your right Greg, but it's close enough that I would not hunt it with out some scent control,if you know what I mean.

Rob is a very good hunter, if there is a"t" to crossed or "i" to be dotedI'm sure it has been done.

I would say the windcomes fromthisdirection 80% of the time, just by guessing and never setting foot on Robs land, I would hunt here, depending on wind direction.

Can you hunt the red x ? I think it could be a good travel route for bucks during the rut
