Hunt the Wind | Using His Greatest Strength to Your Advantage

How to Hunt the Wind | Getting Down Wind of Down Wind

Hunting the wind is something most hunters think they understand but, in reality, have a misconception about how to do so effectively. It seems simple, right? The wind is blowing in a certain direction so logic tells us to simply set up on the down wind side of where the deer are going to be. This is all well and good until we consider the fact that a mature deer uses the exact same logic we use to hunt him to stay alive. Hunting the wind effectively means more than simply setting up on the down wind side. It means setting up down wind of the down wind side. The sooner you realize this the sooner your odds will improve as a hunter.
