When you're deciding when and where to hunt, what do you focus on the most? Weather forecast? Wind direction? Solunar data (i.e., the "best time" to hunt)?

The wind dictates where I go for the most part. I don't pay attention to the moon or the minor or major feeding periods because I think its a bunch of bull.
I don't always hunt the line, but when I do, I make sure I'm close to my neighbor's 8 acre bean field.

1. When I have time. 2. Weather. Colder the better. 3. Wind direction. Once I decide to go, wind direction determines what stand I hunt. 4. Trail cam intel. Cellular trail cams help me know when bucks get more active in daylight hours.

wind direction tells me what stands are available. After that i use other factors to determine which of those stands I'll take.

The wind dictates where I go for the most part. I don't pay attention to the moon or the minor or major feeding periods because I think its a bunch of bull. Right here. Wind speed and direction. After I've satisfied that criteria I go where I have confidence in seeing a deer I want to kill.
