Daveboone Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 most of my hunting is heavy woods, so I am leery of going out when gusting or blowing steadily above about 25...tough to say though, because the wind direction affects how it travels over terrain. I see deer out in the fields regularly during the daytime on high wind days....they probably feel safest themselves there, or I may look for them in the low glens out of the wind. I am more concerned for my own safety Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfoulkrod Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 I hunt whenever I'm done with work and family responsibilities. So when I get a day, I'm going out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawdwaz Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 I shot my archery buck in October with 30mph winds buffeting me........the shot was almost 12 yards IIRC though and down wind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApexerER Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 I don't remember the date...but one hunt this year I left around 10am because I was worried about my safety. That has never happened to me before...I usually just deal with the wind but when I heard a second tree fall this year on one hunt. I decided I was being stupid and left...
