growalot Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Of the wind this year...windy this morning...picking up and getting worse for the next few days....not cool!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landtracdeerhunter Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 We have had our share of wind, LOL. An afternoon sit might be in order, before this next cold front moves in. This milder period has slow the deer here, but I'm banking on them moving ahead of this front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landtracdeerhunter Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 (edited) Something needs to happen ........ I have not seen a deer during daylight since Oct 16 I could not imagine. Been tough here since the warm up. Last deer seen was the 8 pt. Monday morn., I shot at, which I believe jumped the bow string on me. Nice frosty morning.

azhuntress Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Of the wind this year...windy this morning...picking up and getting worse for the next few days....not cool!!! Yes, I agree. I have grown real weary of this wind also. Friday's wind forecast for where I hunt is 16 mph, Saturday is 19 mph, and Sunday is 21 mph. Monday is finally supposed to be a tolerable 8 mph. As much as I hate hunting in the wind it's not going to stop me from going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawdwaz Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Good point Grow. This morning looked pretty good but I had some processing to do. I killed a doe yesterday (in the wind) and had to get her broken down and loaded into a cooler for transport. It has been windy and too warm when I've been out.

peas247 Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Im yet to hunt a day where the wind hasn't blown at least 15 to 20...this weekend it continues...worst weather season ive hunted in a while... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
132 eight pointer Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Looking at tall pines swaying in the wind out my window now. I will be out all weekend in this.Can't change the weather but a calm frosty day would be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ants Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Wind has been a pain. I was out Wed. Not only was it windy, but the wind kept shifting. Hoping for a calmer weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accman Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 That's the problem with this years wind situation, it says winds from the SW at 15, get to the stand, OK, I can deal with 15. But seconds later, it's gusting to 25 and from the NE. I mean swirling yeah, but all day? certainly doesn't help the situation either. I'm sure the deer don't like to move with heavy winds like we're having on the weekends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYbuck50 Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 I cant tell you many times ive had this happen. You can neutralize a shifting wind in gun season, but forget about it with a bow That's the problem with this years wind situation, it says winds from the SW at 15, get to the stand, OK, I can deal with 15. But seconds later, it's gusting to 25 and from the NE. I mean swirling yeah, but all day? certainly doesn't help the situation either.

Burden24 Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 I can deal with 10-15 mph winds if they are a steady from the north ,south etc. I actually prefer a little wind because you know what direction your scent is going and doesn't swirl like it would with a lower wind. But I agree ,countless times this year you get a gust out of the NE out of no where, or it shifts from one direction to another..very frustrating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
growalot Posted November 8, 2013 Author Share Posted November 8, 2013 This morning nice west wind...I start hearing foot step come to me from the south ...bam! in blows a north wind...all went quiet....I think they actually tip toed out of there...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tio1 Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Couldn't agree more. Was off this wk and the wind was terrible. Saw 5 bucks on Sunday, 11/3, 4 bucks on Monday, 11/4, 0 deer Tuesday, 11/5, 0 deer Wednesday, 11/6, 1 buck Thursday, 11/7, and 1 buck today. The wind killed deer movement here in 9h Tuesday-Friday. That's why it's called hunting. Good luck all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fehyd643 Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Arrrrrgh! Tomorrow is my only day to hunt this week. The forecast? Windy with showers developing later in the day. High 44F. Winds W at 25 to 35 mph. Chance of rain 50%. Winds could occasionally gust over 40 mph. What the hell NY?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carloracer1987 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 I'd give up almost anything to be able to hunt 2 days out of the week ! it seems like its either saturday or sunday that we have 20mph winds or just heavy down pours ! I really wanted to get a buck with my bow this year but this weather sucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ants Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 I have been seeing bucks but I sat for 5hrs. yesterday morning, with very mild winds but the winds still kept changing. Seemed like every 20 minutes or so. I didn't see a damn thing.But on the way out I noticed that a coyote left his calling card in one of the active scrapes by my stand. Im not sure whats going on…..

Doc Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 All day there has been a constant roar of the winds, and I pity anyone who is trying to hunt out of a treestand today. It basically would be all moving shots even if the deer were standing still.....lol. That is if you could shoot while having one arm wrapped tight around the tree. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
