Wind: friend and foe

Body
Setting on a hillside in Palo Pinto County last week on the Dale River Ranch, I overlooked a little valley that led down to a creek that joined the Brazos a half mile or so to the north. My goal was to use my trusty old box call to entice a gobbler out of the heavy cover.
The wind is one of the most overlooked pieces of the outdoor puzzle. Watching a skilled bush pilot bring a floatplane to dock on a windy day requires skill and makes for an amazing sight. LUKE CLAYTON photo
