I am hoping for a good hunt Saturday! But as I pull up the wind forecast for Saturday I can’t help but get that sickening feeling in my gut again for hunting in more gusty winds!
What the heck is up with all the wind this deer season?

Has been absolutely terrible, hasn't it? Been saying same thing! Nothing keeps me in more than wind. Cold, no problem. Strong wind, just as well stay in the house. Have multiple strong wind days on the 10 day forecast. My window is closing quickly..... |

I have multiple trees down in my woods. Need to drag them out with the tractor for next year's firewood. Makes me sort of nervous sitting in my blind during high winds. lol |

Forecast here only calling for 5-10 mph winds. That being said, i don't put much faith in any wind forecast from the weather guessers. I had planned on hunting yesterday all week as they were calling for light south winds. Yeah right, try gusts to about 40. I'll be out here shortly as the winds today are light. Getting late and i still have all of my tags left so not going to be picky, just need an opportunity.

Duff, if it were my property Id gladly bring you. A buddy of mine has permission and takes us. Last year was their first year hunting this place and all they did was pass shoot. All after Christmas mind you. They took a bull canvasback, green wing teal, geese, ring necks,and all kinds of mallards. Probably seen 10000 plus geese in 1 day

What the heck is up with all the wind this deer season? No kidding! once firearms came in I think I was out 1 time that wasn't windy. I'm in Alabama now so won't be out this weekend. For those still around from when the princess was doing the hunts she is 37 weeks now and really showing! |

In my neck (northern extreme of IN) I've just been incredibly discouraged due to all the stinking lack of N or NW winds....this time of year it is almost always that at least half the week....not the case this year!

I'm pretty much smack dab in the middle of the state E to W, and about 25 miles S f the Mi state line. Plenty of NW winds here, the lake effect snowfall totals bear that out.....  I think if you total up what has come down here since Sat night, we are in excess of 24". Lot of that has melted and compacted, but we were in the direct center of the highest snowfall totals for the last 2 events and received a hair over 20" from them. |
