You guys better never come to Western South Dakota. 25mph is considered breezy here. Wind is a fact of life here and we just deal with it. It doesn't affect the deer or their movement. We have days with sustained winds in the 30mph range with gusts up to 50 and the deer will be out and about as normal.
I usually don't let the wind keep me home. If it gets really bad there is generally a blizzard attached and you can't get out anyway.

Recently returned from a Nebraska trip and we had high winds the entire week. 15-20 with gusts in the 30 range. Didn'taffect the deer movement atall as we had a great hunt. Buy somewindstopper clothing and get out there!!

In my area of hunting, deer don't seem to move too well when the wind is blowing 25+. I probably won't go out whenthe wind'sblowing that hard.

It's to windy when I'm afraid to let go of the tree to shoot.

I have hunted 15 of the last 17 days, and only two of those had winds less than 20, and hunted one day with winds as high as 50. Tired of the wind, but no such thing as too windy. Have seen more big deer this year than prolly the last 10 seasons put together. Get some good clothes and you can tolerate it if you choose to.
