Bedding Questions

[HoosierG5]

1. The wind will be SW tomorrow at dawn. It switches to West and West SW by 1 PM. Should I plan to hunt a W bed or a SW bed? All are suspected so Im simply guessing.

2. Do you always approach AM sits from the top and sit above the trail or bed based on thermals?

Thanks!

Bucks will tend to relocate beds during the day if the wind shifts to the point the do not feel secure. Sometimes may only be several yards...sometimes they still feel secure when the shift isn't very much. Depends on the pressure in his bedding area he may feel secure during many different wind directions in the same bed.

If I were planning a hunt and going in midday or early afternoon and going in based on the wind direction, I would hunt a bedding area for the given wind at first light.

On am or pm hunts I wouldn't want to approach my stand site from the bottom in fear of bumping a buck thats already bedded.

I have questioned lower approaches on the site several times...more times than not I get the responses low land approaches are hard to pull off.
