Muff Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 its coming out of the east here....the worst wind I can have for my oak tree stand that I want to hunt tonight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoyt77 Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 we had east wind last night, first time i could hunt this area that i see deer in every night. nothing close enough to shoot but seen a nice buck. thats why they give us climbers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c_lou Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 I went out in that crappy South wind this morning. We don't have any perfect stands for a South wind, but we have a couple that it doesn't completely kill your chances. Give me my WNW wind.

Buck75 Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 I couldn't agree more and we won't have another N wind here until Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Kat Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 At least you know they are from the south.....try getting a variable wind direction every 5 minutes blowing 15-20 everyday.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Hello It seems here in the midwest of Iowa the wind is out of the north or south all the time. Frustrating but got scentlock suit and climber so I can get high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruttinbuc Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 (edited) Got blown out today with the NorE'aster heading our way. Really don't have anything for that wind. Then again with the bucks on the move they could come from anywhere. We rarely get a true South wind here. It is usually WSW which can be very good for the hunting. Stick it out. I am going out in the 25mph NE wind in a few. You never know. Edited November 12, 2009 by ruttinbuc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackedUpZ71 Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 This hurricane is about to bring some wind from the south up to yall. Right now its gusting at around 30mph, so if you go out in it you might want to stake yourself to the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUTNSTRUT Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Weird wind directions is why I have to have 17 stands up on my 80 acres. Plus my climber is always at the ready,one of my fav stands is actually best with a SE wind. I don't get to hunt it a whole lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pointing_dogs_rule Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 After hunting this area (Iowa) for the past 20 years I am prepared and have three stands that can be hunted with south winds. In the past it was just too frustrating waiting for north winds and wasting days. I got smart and put three up and if I use then great, if I don't then that much better. Good luck to all the dog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now its gusting at around 30mph, so if you go out in it you might want to stake yourself to the ground. The wind here will be NE-NNE though the whole storm JackedUpZ71. Most everything coming up the coast is influenced by the gulf streams warm water and the cool air putting a counter clockwise spin on the wind. I found a spot tonight hunting the ground where some does passed a ways out. Have to find a good tree there and put it to the plan for NE wind for a couple days.

BowTech292 Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 Dealing with bad winds here in La. too. Have more stands out this year than I have ever put out. Set up a new one yesterday, hoping for the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichiganHunter Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 I set up for where the deer are....I also have one SMALL farm that I can hunt on south winds and it actually hunts better on south winds and on north. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOYTnMUZZYboy Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 It's killing me too! In order to hunt my favorite rut spot, only time I hunt this area is during the rut, and I need a north wind or north west wind, Well the hang on and ladder stand haven't gotten much use cuz I have had to pack my lone wolf climber in with me all but one or two times i have hunted the area. What a joke. Mother nature needs to get back on track!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
