[QUOTE="Timber338, post: 966079, member: 33822"] I still think the same fundamental wind patterns exist... what you are talking about are the smaller ridges where the fingers will ultimately feed down into a larger canyon that I was talking about. When you said "canyon wall" in your original thread, the "wall" description really does not occur until you get to the larger river/creek. But again I still go back to understanding the big picture geography of the area you are hunting, which should indicate which way the wind is moving between ridges when you cannot get out there to feel it. Wherever it is you hunt, the mornings are not only going to be the calmest winds, but the best times to see animals moving. If it is so windy on a long shot that it's too hard to read the wind, then it's just best to pass. At least that is my own personal approach. Reading the wind is tricky, and without lots of practice in the spots you are shooting, it's pretty tough. I'm sure there are guys here good enough to do it, but I am not one of them. FearNoWind, absolutely no offense taken! I'm not stuck on jewell, just had to try one out. I've also used Timney triggers in the past which I really liked. I actually cannot say I like the Jewell any more or less than anything else I have shot, and might like the Timney a bit more on a hunting rifle. Any reason in particular you don't like them? Just curious... fun to talk about this stuff. [/QUOTE]
