Default Wind, deer movement and limited time

Yesterday winds in the 30 to 40 mph range with rain, today 62 degrees wind up to 50 mph. Tommorrow winds up to 23 mph with rain starting at 3pm. Any thoughts on how deer movement will be tommorrow? I have very limited time to get into the woods and tommorrow is on of the last days for about a week that i can get out there. 3 hour drive for me to get to my hunting ground, ill do it but i want to make the most out of time and gas.

Saying the wind has been string is an under statement but I dont think it shut down the deer movement completely. Deer have still been out in the fields and checking scrapes.... According to the cameras. Obviously the wind is hindering deer movement a little but I still think when the wind dies down the deer will go crazy.

In the wind i focus small, hunt small. If you have hills or thickets use them to your advantage, if they block wind then id hunt in them....with high winds and rain you can usually move around fairly good with out being noticed, ive gotten well with in bow range in high winds before. The trick in my experience is to get close to where there bedding, and if you have steady wind make sure you down wind.. They will move but they tend to move slow and stay in the cover, and wont come out to open hardwoods and fields till after dark, i have found bowls and creek bottoms and the backside or steep hills to be extra successful during heavey winds....
