Title: Wind? Post by: scout1 on January 20, 2010, 08:42:22 pm What do you guys think about wind (weather). I know the wind moves scent around - but when is the wind too much. Weather here for the weekend shows the wind around 17 mph. Planning to hunt but didn't know if this would ruin the hunt.

Title: Re: Wind? Post by: Bump on January 20, 2010, 10:14:10 pm I always consider the wind speed and direction on my hunts. I start by entering a property with the wind in my favor to working the dogs into the wind....right down to going in to a bay, down wind. In my opinion it is the most important consideration of hunting.
10-20 mph should benefit you....obviously it can get too strong and become an negative issue. Title: Re: Wind? Post by: scout1 on January 20, 2010, 10:16:05 pm Thanks Bump.
