Cold front coming through. BUT 20-30 mph winds.
I am debating If tomorrow will be a good day besides the high winds. the west wind is perfect for the stand I have in mind but with the 20-30mps winds tomorrow, IDK if the deer will even move. What do you guys think?

I don't have a choice. It's my only day I can hunt. I would be going even if it was raining sideways!!

Careful what you wish for. I was sitting in a ground blind all day saturday with an inch of rain and 30 mph gusts and a below freezing windchill. Not fun I think that the wind certainly doesn't help your chances, but you can't kill one on the couch. If the deer are rutting in your area anything could happen in just about any weather.

I would go. I prefer days with wind anyways. Not 30+ MPH winds though. I hunted fine in winds 20-25 MPH, and you can get away with a little bit of movement on stand, and make a sneaky approach to your stand without sounding like a herd of cattle coming thru the woods. I don't however, like it when the tree sways back and forth in a strong wind causing me to get a little motion sickness, or if there is a blistering wind chill.

I froze my but off from that wind. I was out of my stand by 9am. I did have a good hunt though. I passed on a 2.5 and watched a 3.5 with a doe for an hour. They were only 50-60yds away but he would not leave here. Frustrating to say the least.

I'm going out every day this week! It's now or never before the gun season! I won't hunt gun season on public land!

Re: Cold front coming through. BUT 20-30 mph winds.
Just don't put your stand 25' feet up in the smallest tree you can find. Nothing like getting motion sickness hunting out of a treestand. That being said, if I have a day off, I am in the woods. With that wind, I would scout with my bow in hand. Gun season is a different story, I will sit all day through whatever mother nature gives me

High winds mean I will be planning to slowly still hunt my areas. If you go slow enough, pay close attention to your surroundings, you can get stupid close to deer.

Big bucks tend to move in windy conditions. They also move much better in the thick on windy days. Overall deer movement will be less.
You can fool some of the bucks, all of the time, and fool all of the bucks, some of the time, however you certainly can't fool all of the bucks, all of the time.

Wise words. My top 5 largest buck sightings have all come on the nastiest windy days imaginable.

Agreed, even this season the two biggest bucks I've seen were on nasty windy days.
