Sunday was cold and foggy in the mid 50's, just cant see more than 5 yds , lost the trail when we going to our treestands , morning we saw 3 does 75 yds away. we take a rest at 11 for breakfast, and we back at 2 !!
At 4 I see a lot activity in my place, i have a fork at 74 yds for 40 min then he come on 69 for 10 min and he stop to eat in a branch at 54 yards he was there for 20 min , I was trying to make the shot but my treestand is in the top of mountain so wins was 20-30 miles and i have some branchs on the top, so with many variables I decide pass and have chance another day.

So I know when I shooting with the rifle how change mils in the scope, but how many feets you think arrow was moved with cross winds in the 20-30 miles ???
 
Only way to know is to practice in the wind. Sunday was really good. The low pressure cooled it down and had the deer feeling good. I had deer under me all day. and at one point I called in three toms and had them struttin under me for 10 min.
