Not unless it's pulling the stakes for the pop-up out of the ground.

Remember the scene from "Twister" where the cow went blowing by, twice? That's too windy

20mph isn't to windy. When it gets up over 30mph, I have noticed deer will bed down and wait it out. My theory is that much wind takes away most of their senses, hearing, smell and sight. They can't hear anything with that much wind blowing. They can't detect movement cause everything is moving. Scent is scattered everywhere by high wind. This tells them its time to lay up and wait.

Yeah. This wind would be alright, but up over 30 mph they really stay bedded down or find somewhere to get out of the wind like backsides of hills, creek or river beds and just real thick brush. Spot and stalk always works well in high winds if they are bedded and you can see them.

I don't think it matters much at my place. Nostradenis says it's always windy when the Nelson boys are around.

The truth is deer gotta eat, so they will go about their business.

I've shot them in below zero howling winds with two feet of snow on the ground.

When the ruts on they get really stupid. Just look at the buck swimming in the other post.

Deer gotta eat.

How windy is too windy?

I don't know but as windy as it is right now, I do know nothing is moving where I am.

Wind here (Abilene) laid briefly just after sunup. Didn't get calm, but it dropped to 10mph or so for almost an hour. Had deer moving then. No movement before sunup (with higher winds). Movement stopped when the wind got up to 20-25mph at about 8:30.

Had several doe and a spike around me this morning. I started to shoot a big dry doe, but decided to hold off for now. Hopefully, the wind will lay at dusk this evening.

It is too windy when the treestand you are sitting is whipping back and forth like a ride at the fair.............

[BowVista]

Wasn't too windy in north Williamson County! Bucks were chasing does all over the place. I got down for a bit to come cook up a pot of chili and let my wife take a nap, and then I'll be right back out there.

No, but you can sit in camp and drink/cook with your buddies.

I went out last night, I have seen deer everynight for the last month or so,and last night the wind was blowing 30 or so and I did not see one deer.
