Swirling Winds- what do you do?

[uzi]

I'm assuming we have all had this happen to us. You get in your set to find the winds is literally changing direction every minute. I had this happen to me this morning as I prepared to be in the stand all day. The wind was out of the NE and I had some doe busted me 80yds away (they were coming in from the north to give you an idea how bad the wind was swirling around) I opted to get out at 9am so I didn't have scent blowing all over the ridge I was hunting. Just curious on what you guys do?

If you are on a ridge you might need to be a little higher in the tree.

Or a little higher on the ridge.

I should've been a little more clear in my original post. I am 20+ ft in the tree and right at the point where ridge starts to drop off. Just wondering if other guys get out or hang tight when the wind swirls continually.

If the wind isn't right I always abort.

Swirling winds or changing winds? My all day sit today changed from south/north several times. This was the forecast also. Frustrating. I stuck it out and came up empty handed.

after decades of useing milkweed seed you get pretty good at knowing where to hang your stand to avoid the swirl... Its usually because of terrain shape...
