Title: Terrain feature question
Post by: ESP on August 27, 2011, 06:58:00 PM
I have read Buckskin and Bone for the third time this year. While reading the part about headers (the top of a deep cut that runs from the ridge top to the bottom)grabbed my attention. And my question to you experts is; most of the headers that I hunt are in a bowl.  Which makes a consistent wind impossible.  So what is the trick to hunting the header?   If I would have thought of this in March I would have asked Mr. Wensel at the Ohio deer and turkey expo.  
Thanks
Eric

I'm no expert here, but here's some observations of mine.  Some situations are impossible...that's why the deer like it there!   I have a few similar circumstances near saddles, and such.  One thing you can do, is find the entrance/exit routes and find a more consistant wind there....like nearer the ridge line or in the saddle itself, where the wind is likely to blow one way or another.  

Good luck.
