- Want to harvest your target buck but keep on getting busted? If you are hunting thermals in hill country or the mountains for a mature whitetail deer and aren't accounting for the thermals, this might be your problem. The key is learning how to plan your access and hunt using the wind direction and thermals to optimize your scent control and keep from getting sniffed out by the buck you are bow hunting.
In this video, I'll show you how to plan your hunts in hill country using thermals and winds more effectively and how to develop strategies that take advantage of and account for morning thermals and evening thermals. This and how to time your hunting spot or stand access perfectly. This will help you select stand locations optimized for both the wind and thermal rise and drops during the day.
Playing the wind and hunting thermals can be tough and there is never a one-size-fits-all answer, but I will show you how thermals work, and how to use the wind to hunt deer with them. Then I will walk you through multiple scenarios for hunting morning and evening thermals and show you what you can do to beat the deer at his own game.

Great video! I took notes! 🤓
Great! Then you'll like the follow up video I'll be releasing soon which dives deeper into timing thermals.
On a north facing slope, would the thermals be opposite? Example: Would you want to hunt the bottom of the morning and high of the evening? Since the north facing slope would be the last to heat up and last too cool down? Thanks
It wouldn't be the opposite, but the time of shift and strength of the thermals there could definitely be different. If the sun is warming the air in the valley, the thermals will still rise, but on that north facing slope, they could get tamped down by the cooler temperatures and not be as strong as on the south facing slope. That's a great question because I've experienced some of my biggest thermal delays (9-10 am) on north facing slopes. It really depends on how high up on the mountain you are and what the overall temperature change is.
Don’t know if this question will translate but what if you have say a predominantly north or south wind and your target is on a hill or bench in the east?
I hope I understand this right. If you have a wind coming out of the north and the spot you want to hunt is on an east-facing bench? I would do an evening hunt and get there when the thermals start to drop and set up on the south side (downwind) and downhill from the target location (trail, scrape, etc) you expect the deer to travel on or to. Is that what you were asking?
On the other hand, if the pattern of the deer is morning-focused, you would still hunt to the downwind side, but you would want to be above the spot you expect the deer to be. It all depends on the general time you expect the deer to be there. That could change the elevation. The easiest thing to do would be to stay downwind and drop milkweed going in to see how the thermals are working at that time.
@@theeverydaybowhunter Great. Thanks for the reply. That makes a lot of sense applying what you said in the video. I believe however my experimentation with this may have to wait until late muzzle loader season in Jan after all the gun hunters have stopped for a few weeks
@@danfofi2388 Good luck!
