Barometric pressure more important then wind?

[Jeremy K]

The place I hunt has swirling winds 100 percent of the time  I often wonder how much easier it would be if the wind just went in one direction for a period of time.

Wind aint happening without changes in barometric pressure. I think critters are aware on some level of dropping pressure, and are more active before fronts come in.   Rising pressure after a change...not so much, but the critters are moving because the weather is better allowing it. 

As far as me hunting...I will try like heck to be out before and after a front, and will hunt in breezy conditions, but not once the trees start swaying and branches falling. I love to hunt the sloppy weather. It has treated me well over the years.  As an aside...I certainly hunt according to the wind direction. There are times deer dont seem to catch me, but they have enough times that I plan around it.

This is very accurate from my experiences.

Hunting a night right before a heavy rain has been successful for me especially.
