Hate East Winds

[nybuckboy]

I have found that I see less or no deer at all with a direct East wind like this morning. Son and I on opposite corners of property with wind in our face on stand and another friend about 5 miles away and no sightings. I attribute this to deer are used to moving via their trails systems with prevailing west/northwest/southwest winds so they are extra cautious or don't move at all until they have to.

Anybody else think this way too?

Two of us in Seneca county this am and not a deer in sight. Even driving around afterwards!!! Might be something to it.on east winds from now on.

I have much love for an east wind because I set up for them.  Both in Canadice and East Aurora I have situations I look forward to quite a bit.  A straight north wind gives me more trouble than any other direction but I still have a set up or two to work with.

My property of 183 acres is long and narrow, it's very difficulty for me to hunt an east wind because of the way my property is laid out. Every year I keep telling myself I need more stands to hunt an east wind. Wind was out of the east all weekend at my farm, I chose to hunt a different property, myself and other people I talked to saw the best deer movement between 9 and 11am Saturday and Sunday. Good luck out there let's hope we don't see a lot of East wind this year!
