I hunted the other day in 42 mph (gusting) winds. The wind was blowing all over the place. Has anyone noticed this to stay true? Or is the wind normally consistent in high winds?

Thanks for any input!

I don't get it?

Simply put, does the wind commonly swirl when it is blowing above 20 mph?

depends on the terrain more than the wind speeds.

Yes ICALL, I've noticed the same thing. The wind comes in hard from the SW and the next gust is NE, I didn't know if the fact that I was in a Valley made it swirl from the opposing mountain, but I certainly understand the question and agree!!

It almost has to Willie. I use Milk weed for checking my wind direction when hunting and I'll let a piece go and 5 minutes later that same piece Is coming back to me going In the opposite direction during gusty windy days.

Thanks guys for your input.

I hunted a new spot last Sunday and the wind was really blowing. I wasn't sure if it was the gusting, or the location. I'm fairly certain it was the wind.

Glad I'm not alone here!
