Do I roll the dice tomorrow?

Look for opinions. Should I hunt tomorrow am on an less than perfect wind? Winds going to be blowing west. Which basically blows right to the deer as they pass me ( so they should be dead by then)
Thoughts?

see my post about talking the talk.

I rolled the dice, and paid for it. Had my dream buck (140" 10 point on pa public land) coming in on a string. He hit my scent stream at about 35 yards, locked up, and just turned and walked away, to that token though I had a buck come in from up wind of me as well but he wouldn't commit to coming in any farther. I got encounters buy hunting the wrong wind, but couldn't seal the deal, and now one of the biggest bucks in the are got a noseful of my scent. I have the same scenario playing out for this Saturday if the wind stays the same.

Its up to you but I never was good at gambling....

I wud definitely go for it. Get aggressive and be a beast! If u don't u may wonder..."I wonder if I wud have had a chance at a deer had I hunted that spot with that wind". In my mind, that is how a lot of beast style hunts take place...with a 'just off' wind or almost a dead wrong wind. Just may have to pay closer attention than normal and notice the deer before they hit yer scent stream. Good luck!

Take the chance, I killed my buck on a off wind last year.

Sounds like an almost perfect wind to me.

Red dots my tree to setup in. Blue is a stream. White arrows is expected deer travel. Yellow is bedding. And I killed a buck from this tree Oct 27 working a scrape 30 yards from my tree. He was bedded at the elbow of the stream.

Greens the property line I can't hunt north off. That swamp is full of trails but it's off limits.

View north of my tree. Look closely you can see a doe in the stream.

Why can't you set up in a tree farther east?

Creeks the property line also. West of my spot is a ridge.

Sorry I'm confused. Is your north arrow pointed the wrong way?

Lol. Sorry. No it's right. East of me is a ridge and west is the property line(creek). I screwed up my description.

Might look and see if there's a tree north east of my picked spot. Might be a tree I can use. At the base of the hill though.
