The Wind Is Your Master When Hunting Deer with Giles Island’s Jimmy Riley

A major mistake that hunters make is what I call the fudge factor. They’re walking into their stand, and they realize the wind is blowing from the wrong direction for them to hunt from the stand where they planned.

Early Season Whitetail Social Groups

Knowing the social structure of the herd during the time you intend to hunt is a key to getting calls, decoys or scent to work for you. In the “whitetail world” the time during early season (typically late August through October) is all about being social with other deer.
