Summary

Have you ever had the wind switch and swirl on you in the stand? If you've hunted for any length of time then the answer is yes - and today we have Clifton Denney of Arkansas on to discuss. Clifton dives into how you can use your topo map to predict wind currents and know how the wind will ramp off hills, swirl, eddie and interact with everything it runs into, even trees! This is a deep dive on wind and we get into the weeds on subjects such as how wind velocity will effect where and how the wind swirls, and where bucks will cruse. Clifton uses his knowledge of the wind to predict where bucks will be cruising based on day to day predictions, and he has used his knowledge to knock down quite a few nice bucks. You wont want to miss this one!

The reality for pretty much all of us is life is busy man and you got to hunt when you can.

0:04.6

You know, we all got a job, maybe you got a job of wife, kids, whatever the case may be, time is limited.

0:09.6

If there's anything I've learned from a lot of these guests that we've had on in the past that you've got to make it count and you've got to be efficient.

0:15.5

One of the ways that I've been able to improve my efficiency drastically this year is by using the wind calendar feature on on X.

0:22.7

Basically the way it works, you drop a pin and you say I want to add a wind direction for this pin.

0:27.2

To hunt this, I need a Southwest, South or Southeast wind.

0:31.6

So I add that to that pin and it automatically shows up as a little icon above that pin that tells me the wind direction and it shows up either green, red or orange.

0:40.6

Obviously green is good, orange is okay, red is bad.

0:43.8

So what this means is me having an eight month old at home.

0:46.5

If I get three hours during the week, maybe after work or something to go get a quick hunt in, I can open my on X and instantly see which stands have a good wind form right now.

0:56.2

So that means I can grab my stuff and go.

0:58.4

I don't have to open four different apps to see the wind direction.

1:01.3

I don't have to do any of that.

1:02.2

I can immediately see it on on X and I've already done all my planning beforehand.

1:06.5

So I can be efficient and as soon as I say, okay, looks like I got three or four hours to get out there real quick.

1:11.1

Boom, I'm gone and I'm going straight to that stand.

1:13.5

I'm not wasting any time.

1:14.8

If you want to get 20% off of your on X Elite membership, you can use the promo code Southern at on X Hunt.com where you can hit the link in the description of this podcast.

1:23.8

Again, use the promo code Southern for 20% off your Elite membership.

1:27.6

No where you stand with on X Hunt.

1:29.5

If you hunt like us and a lot of the guests on this show, you're probably kind of rough on gear.

1:33.9

I mean, I know that I've personally dropped my binoculars out of my tree stand before.
