Ipwhites comment on killing a buck yesterday at 9:15 a.m. in gale force wind got me thinking (again!) about the wind. I tend to just not go when it’s bad and certainly when it’s whirling. What do you all say about the winds influence, and if it’s a negative, what’s the mph cutoff?

I've killed a couple of good ones on mornings when everyone else slept in because it was "too windy" and they weren't gonna move.
I'll take a good strong wind from a consistent direction any time over that calm, light and variable wind.
Hunt some in the midwest, and it's always windy out there, and they still move.

It is really the majority/minority rule or the 90% vs 10% rule.
GENERALLY, high winds like today - 15-25mph is a MAJOR deer movement suppressor - just like warm weather.
Then there is the exception to the rule. Yes, there will be some deer that will eventually move in it - especially if they are hungry enough.
My lifetime experience is that high blustery winds makes the large majority of deer stay bedded down.

I could have killed a 3 year old buck Saturday in the wind and a 2 year old buck yesterday in the wind - but wasn't interested in them.
Could have killed does on both days too. But wasn't interested in does.
It is hard to generalize such things. Anything is possible. Generally, high winds are bad. But obviously it doesn't negate the possibility of deer movement. Obviously, going in deep close to thick areas would be the best way to hunt high winds.
I think it is supposed to be high winds remaining tomorrow afternoon and I plan to hunt. Will see what happens!

If you don’t trust hunting in the wind, don’t hunt. You have to be confident. I hunt, I don’t worry about weather unless it is a dangerous condition.

Where are all the big mature buck kills from yesterdays 15-30 mph winds? . It was plenty cold. Thought there would be dozens of 4-7 year old bucks killed and reported here with pics.
