talking about bad winds...
spot behind my house where I take one or two every year is a classic example of a "bad wind" setup. I have no way to hunt the place where I can get downwind of the deer. But...I have a spot where I can hunt parrellel to the wind so its not blowing into the approach of the deer unless it comes out of the north at all. So if you can get to spots like this where you dont have to cross the approaches/bedding areas on the way to the stand site, you can still hunt bad winds.
