RE: Learned another Lesson TONIGHT!!
Living here in Tioga County NY,where I hunt the wind comes from the west 75% of the time.So I hung my stands with that in mind.The past 10 days the wind has been blowing from the east or south!
All the high tech things they have now and they still can't figure it out.

If I were you mathewsboy, I would not move my stand, unless the deer saw you. And I know you know what I mean. When a buck sees you, you know it.
Stick out that stand with a good wind. I've learned that moving too much in my past has done more harm than good. Big deer, as you know, don't stand for that crud, he'll move on if over pressured.

Mathews, the only diff between me and the weather men is they get paid for telling thier lies. 
Wind currents are difficult to predict and/or patterns with any accrucarcy. The wind currents here in the mountains either go up or down and you will get that occassional cross winds. You go figure. Just get out in the woods and cover your scent as best as possible figure out the dominating wind and usually they will change from the opposite direction depending on thermal currents. Seems like the deer always approach from the most opposite direction. Good luck and lets get er done. Bobby
