No i walk the way they'ed be running home to block them from cover no matter what way the wind is blowing!

but on a day time i try to keep the wind in my face!

Wind in the face always helps. Sometimes you dont have that luxury, but if trying to walk up game that you have spotted daytime its always worth thinking about where the wind is blowing and where the quarry is likely to bolt to when it does clock you. Although having said that very little daytime sport is slipping, so usually it dont matter where you are, as the dogs are working off away.

I heard from a friend of mine that if your out for a run on a windy day not to bother walking the whole field, just was the parts that are sheltered by trees, ditches or banks. I've tried it and it might just be coincedence but it has proved fruitful.

I have most success when the wind /breeze is blowing into me.

 

If im walking up a hedge i stay on the windward side.

 

The dogs have a much better chance of sniffing out hidden game

 

Unfortunatley sometimes this is not possible due to obstructions and barriers.
