To me, a strong wind means a hunter can usually get closer.
I like your passion for accurate long range shooting. But pretending your "sniper like" shooting skills make you a better hunter is blowing wind alright.
I once watched a guy with a 300 Wetherby gut shoot a buck at 200 yards because when I mentioned holding off for the wind he said " no need to with these 180 bullets and 300 mag"
Yeah the wind makes a difference - maybe not at 50 yards but ona stiff wind at 100 it. An make aDifference between a clean kill and a not so clean kill with many rifles .
