River points

[TNstalker]

So got a draw hunt this weekend on a national refuge. Havent been able to scout for lack of time. I have it mapped out an I'm going in blind but my question is my number one spot I like from google earth is a long thin point. The tip of the point is facing north the wind is projected from the north east. Would think they would want a south wind to face river and the wind to blow the length on the point but would they still lay there with a north wind looking south at the woods? Anyone with experience on this would help give me an idea whether or not to try it.

The river acts as a safe barrier for the deer. Danger seldom if ever comes from the river. So I always set up according to that. I always like my wind blowing into the river. I like the river bends that push up into the timber and I often set up on those. Check out the podcast I did here on the beast I touched on river hunting quite a bit. There is a thread associated with it. I think you could get some tips out of that thread. Check out this link;

Thanks for info. But the podcast kept repeating an starting over maybe bc I was on my phone idk. U got anymore maps u can share I like my setup spot there is only one place with a north east wind I see where wind would hit water but it wouldn't be blowing through major part of timber. This is a 2 day hunt trying to make the best of it. Found out I can bow hunt this place every year with a tag so want to learn it bc there have been some big deer killed here every year. Been some even bigger seen.

Most of the river points I have seen deer bed on, the wind blows down the point and the deer face the water when they are bedded there.
