Thread: Wind in the Mountains

This is probably of no real use to you for long range but il blab anyway.

If say you are on or near the top of a ridge that the wind is blowing over the deer below you "downwind" will usually not get your scent.
This is because where they are its blowing up towards you. Its like water flowing over a rock in a river with the eddy behind it.
Then there is the catabatic in calm conditions and im sure you would be aware of this too. up from around 9-10am and down from5-7pm depending on season and north or south gfacing etc
As you get the shift from down to up in the morning in big valleys you quite often get a period where it is going up from the vally floor(if its in sun of course) but still comming down from the top and some where mid slope its mixing and you never know whether its going to go down or up in this region for a hour or so till it sorts its shit out.

A HUNTERS PERSPECTIVE

long range steel I guess fire and correct
