phade Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Weather.com and wunderground have different wind predictions for tomorrow...one saying SE to SSW, the other saying NNE to ENE. Big difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Witty Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 It is coming down in buckets here. I wish I could be in one of my stands when it stops. The view from my desk isn't as nice as anyone of the stands lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arrow Flinger Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Syracuse weather says light and variable for wind today, which means your scent will be drifting all over he place. This is why I laugh when guys say you don't need to try to be scent free, just hunt the wind. Well, what do you do for days like today, stay home? And what if its like this for a week during the prime rut? Miss the whole week? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phade Posted October 4, 2013 Author Share Posted October 4, 2013 Light and variable is the worst to hunt. You scent cone just drops and floats about at the mercy of any thermals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNYBuckHunter Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Just checked weather.com. They are forecasting e and ne winds tomorrow. @ 6 mph in my area. Im trying to make it so i can get in there. Should be perfect... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jr.deerslayer Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Check out the Mossy Oak hunting/Weather app by Scoutlook its shaping up to be one of my favorites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PooperScooper Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 That app looks cool. I'm installing it now. I'm glad I'm not the only one who was confused by the forecasted wind direction(s) for tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeBugg Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 I downloaded it....doesnt like my phone apparently. I can find my area but it wont detect my location. Tried ten times. Ill try an uninstall and install again Sent from Outer Space Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jr.deerslayer Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Helps if i turn my gps on lol Sent from Outer Space Haha happened to me for the first time to. I thought it was a piece of crap until I remembered I turned it off. I have a few of my stands marked and can check wind conditions/ temp at any one anytime. Can also use it as a gps to find your stands in the dark. Its definitely not accurate to the nearest foot but gets you within 10-15 foot most times.

crappyice Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 I had a great morning (saw a 4 pointer) today and needed to get out by 9:30...just felt right so I sat 5 more minutes---as I was climbing down I was slammed with rain(forecast was for rain starting a noon). When it came to my evening hunt the weather was predicted to be dicey but the conditions were perfect(thank god they are wrong a lot). Sat till dark with no sign and get a call from my partner who shot a doe. As I was climbing down...your guessed it- buckets of rain. Thankfully he double lunged her and she dropped within 30 yards - no blood trail would have remained. Weathermen suck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fasteddie Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 I use AccuWeather --- It shows East then ENE for the area I will hunt . Should be okay except for the rain forecast . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WesternNY Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 weather.gov tells me calm winds, weather.com tells me NE 5 MPH.... my weather instruments on the farm tell me NE at 3 at the moment. NE wind for me is rare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ELMER J. FUDD Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 If I'm hunting. I just turn around and expect the deer not to come from the down wind side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
