Way back when I was always under the impression that deer hunting in a strong wind was a waste of time...probably because I think every magazine writer there was wrote that all the time!
But not knowing any better, I went hunting anyway and found that some deer never got around to reading those same magazines.
I have had many very fine deer hunts with very windy conditions, I suspect that the cooler temperatures combined with the fast approaching November days would lead to good hunting.
The only caveat I would add is that if it is too windy then it can be dangerous out there, so be careful in your tree stands. Several years ago I was in a stand and after hearing/seeing about 6 or 7 trees literally fall to the forest floor it dawned on me that the next one could be coming my way! The thought of being belted to a tree about 25' up while another is coming towards me scared me enough I decided to get down...immediately! In my haste, I literally threw my backpack to the ground, which happened to land about 15' from about 6 or 7 deer that I hadn't seen come in. Well I paused long enough to shoot one of them and then climbed down real quick.
It had been raining a lot too in front of the strong wind and just about every susceptible tree was waterlogged
and being hit hard by the wind and they were falling everywhere. So as long as no trees are falling and you don't mind a little bit of a seasick feeling :grin:, get out there!! The time is right.
