I’m planning on heading out to sit in the blind Friday morning, afternoon and Saturday morning. Winds are supposed to be 15mph with gust up to 30mph. Do you guys have any luck on windy days? Friday afternoon and Saturday morning won’t be windy so debating if I should skip the morning hunt on Friday. Will be in Webb County near Bruni, TX. Temps will be in the high 20’s and 30’s.

I watch them every day and they head for the thick cover when it’s windy here. They are in my yard eating everything they can right now at 1:30am. They know what’s coming. They always do.

The rut is on in Webb. You shouldn't have too much trouble seeing deer.
Sometimes it's hard being me! But somebody has to do it.

Hunted this area for 35+ years between Aguilares and San Ygnacio and during winds in 25mph, would see deer but far fewer than lower to moderate winds. I'd hunt today then Sat. and on but not Friday during 30mph+ winds.

I would definitely go hunting Friday morning. You will be kicking yourself for not going during the rut

We will see how it goes tomorrow.

Is it normal not to see anything on my camera this morning? I’ve had deer out there every feeding since this morning.

I’d still go hunt, it’ll be cold and the deer have to move!

Normal windy days for us usually means less activity. This morning it was 16 degrees with the wind blowing snow sideways and I saw more bucks out than normal. I would have guessed they would have been out in force yesterday preparing for the cold but not so much.

5 bucks, 4 does and 3 fawns so far this morning. New buck I have not seen all season was the first buck in at daylight. Bucks are starting to tolerate each other now, so our rut is about over. 9° with a 10mph breeze.
