Not sure how much stock I put in the wind theory. All of my preseason scouting; looking at numbers, buck sign and bucks indicated this was going to be a dismal year. (I hunt Central WV)
Once season opened, I did manage to see good numbers, but only small bucks that I wouldn't shoulder the rifle for. One thing that was glaringly obvious was the lack of hunters. Places that are usually overrun with people were vacant. Not sure what contributed to this, but there just weren't many people hunting this year like there has been in previous years.....maybe it was the wind.
