I am hunting a new place in Coleman County just off of Lake Ivie this year. I am struggling to decide on blind placement vs. wind direction. I have looked at wind rose data for the area and generally anticipate SE or NW winds. Where possible I will have 2 blind locations, but I have a couple of places that would only allow for 1 stand.
I am looking for some real world input from those of you who hunt the area though.
Thank you.Last edited by Grand Passage; 09-08-2021, 11:14 AM.

Learning how your deer travel that location and being able to beat their nose before they get in front of you is the most important part IMO.Last edited by Grand Passage; 09-08-2021, 12:26 PM.

Place them where you have the best chance to hunt no matter the wind direction. An example of what not to do would be placing one stand on the NW side and the other on the SW side. A west wind would make that entire location not huntable. If you have no choice, make sure the "dead wind" differs from stand to stand. The ideal stand location for me is on the Due East side of what I'm hunting over because of how little it occurs during hunting season. BUT make sure you have a setup somewhere on your place that you can hunt a Due East wind with.
Once you learn how your deer travel each set you can decide when you should or should not hunt that location because of where the wind will be blowing your scent to. It's a process that takes a lot of time to learn. There are also a few more factors that I think about when placing/hunting stand(s) but the majority of people only care about where their scent is "blowing" to and don't care about anything other than that.
You can shoot me a PM if you care for any further details I'm talking about. I don't want to clog the thread with questions/answers.

Made it down to Toe Nail for one last check before I go time. I knew when I left last time that I had one camera that wasn’t working, so I don’t have much by way of this year‘s pictures, but here are a few of the better ones from January and the one decent Sept pic.
