So something has been sticking me up lately in planning for this season. Hunting different places all the time, should I look at the wind, and after looking at the wind select a piece of public that was scouted? Or should I pick a piece of public based on best chance in time frame of the year and play the wind in that spot however you have to do it. I guess what I’m saying is should I go with my knowledge on when I think that area will be best and just check the wind before entering and enter and setup accordingly, even if it isn’t the desired setup and I end up dating a fat chick. Let me know what you think guys I think this may help some other guys out as well.
Many Thanks
In general, I hunt the properties I believe to be best for the time of year and current conditions. Actual daytime wind may or may not dictate the specific spot I setup at, but almost never the property. But I also hunt very large pieces of public…
I don’t want to be hunting the right spot with the wrong wind or the wrong spot with the right wind.
Most ‘spots’ setup for only certain wind directions, but some can be hunted in multiple wind directions, you may just have to change your access or ‘final approach’ to the spot and exactly where you setup.
Hopefully that makes sense. If you need anymore details on any of that lmk.
I think I understand. Begin your entrance in a “negative terrain” easy access area and when coming in proximity of your spot, switch your entrance based on wind conditions. Only thing that I may get caught up on is how close to the presumed spot to hunt do you change your approach?
There are a lot of variables there. But in general, change your access or final approach enough to not go upwind of where the deer are. This might be the last 100 yards, quarter mile or more…
