I've never paid any attention to it. I hear ya, unless I'm out on top of the plateau or the wind is at a high , steady clip I've bout got to where I just go hunting. I hunt a lot of hub and spoke set ups where deer can come from several directions. Wind in Upper Alabama will make ya crazy.

I hunt a lot of hub and spoke set ups where deer can come from several directions. Wind in Upper Alabama will make ya crazy. Yep. I hunt flat swamp land. Deer can and do come from all directions at our place too. Today, I saw 3 deer to my left and a hour later a young buck walks under me from my right. I don't worry about the wind where I hunt.

Swirling October winds (and the fact that the woods in Alabama look like Cambodia during the month of October) are what has kept me from bow hunting the past 5-6 years.
In my experience, if you have a mature deer that you are on and you try to bow hunt him (at least during bow season), there are just too many variables and moving parts for me to want to chance it again and risk blowing him out of the area. Once a older deer feels the heat....he's gone.
I know that there are those that do and are successful at it. I just never have been.

How many of ya'll stay out of your best spots, due to swirling winds, early in the season? There's a couple spots that i've been dying to go, but the wind has not been steady enough, and the last thing i want to do, is blow out deer and burn the stand out. Some stands i wait until the rut to hunt. I'm doing this today.
