Deer usually bed up because there is so much noise and movement and it renders their nose worthless. I like it to be raining and I take a shotgun and stalk thru young thick pines.

If the rut is on you better be in the woods on windy days.

deer move alot more than folks think on windy days,good time to hunt your more visible areas,they rely more on there sight with high winds.look for sheltered draws that gets them out of that wind.
I would rather be turkey hunting

Echo winters and Ben here. I've sure killed some hosses on the windiest days of the year. High wind from the NNW right behind a front 20 mph + have been really high success on big bucks near thick cover.

I've killed 3 nice 8 points when it was windy enough it that the tree was swaying to the point that it was hard to stay on target. Two of them were directly down wind.
I like hunting in the wind, from what I've seen it dilutes our scent very well. I tell my son it blows the stink away.

Not a south wind at all and this heat we have now
If you haven't read his book ( & its probably the only whole one I've read since school) look up Dr. Bob Sheppard, one of the most successful whitetail hunters in Alabama!

I love to hunt on windy days especially bowhunt because you can get by with more sound and movement undetected. I also believe that your scent is not as much of a issue on windy days as it is on a good calm day.

Best deer ever was on a 70 degree day at 2:00 clock with a 30 mph south wind during the rut. He was the fourth buck that cruised thru that bench that day.
