How will hunting near a large river affect my thermal
I'm going to hunt land along the missouri river. I have scouted out areas online so far. What will the thermals do? One area I will be 200 yards from the river and another one is a island.

Calm wind days is where you will be effected. On winds of 4 mph and up play the wind not the thermal. I generally like to have my wind blowing into the river.
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.

I have found that if the water is flowing and fairly cool, it will suck the surrounding air toward the river and flow the same direction. Think of it like a tributary joining the river, that's how the air around it will react.
