i just got in from the woods and the wind was in my favor the whole time then all of a sudden 40 mins before dark i hear a deer snorting and whistleing like 10 times then kinda trotted away this was like 150 yards down over the ridge i never saw the deer and it never saw me and the wind was in my face what do you think caused this

NHbuckhunter

Another hunter,tresspasser if you're on private,coyote, scent you left going in. way too many variables to count.

Sometimes when you are hunting near an edge, like field/woods, wind coming over the trees toward the field will roll down and go back into the woods. And then there are all the other things that deer can blow at. You just never know.

Deer blow at all kinds of crazy crap. Ive seen deer blow at other deer. I wouldn't worry too much. Unless they winded your trail where you walk into your stand.

I wouldn't worry to much about it. Sounds like everything was in your favor, and if there was a good steady breeze it could have been anything.

sounds like you got busted unless there was a preditor near you you didnt see

that's the funny thing about wind it swirls and goes different directions. I have a stand that on a NE wind the actual wind at that stand is from the S .go figure that mystery.

The wind may have been in your face but when evening falls so does the wind currents. As the temperatures drop so does the currents. Just the opposite in the morning. If that deer was below you the currents were dropping.
