[QUOTE="BOTLDPONY, post: 2339961, member: 3674"] I have done some reading and typically I understand to hunt the wind in your face, as the deer smells what is behind them and can see whats in front of them. I see that bucks will cross the wind to seek for does. Now on the sighting I have been seeing this year (just really starting to pay attention) is that this is true most of the time. But I want to know what a deer's day consists of as in when we the "hunters" enter the woods hour or so before daylight what are the deer doing at that time (feeding and browsing I assume?), so we get in our stand wind in the face, and wait for them to come back to bed? kind of hard to explain what I am looking for i guess... if the wind is blowing from the South and the deer bed in a N/S run, they should go North in morning to feed then come back South to the same bed (with the wind in there face?) or do they go somewhere else to bed...eventually they will have to come back downwind or they would go that direction for days or till the wind changed direction. So why hunt the wind? if they will go from anywhere any direction anytime. [/QUOTE]
