Winds in Ozona

[careybirdwell]

I just join a lease in Ozona this year. I have only been out here a few times, but is it always windy out here. I swear the wind is a steady 25 with gust of 30-35 right now. Every time I've been here the wind is howling.

Also what are the predominant during hunting season.?

Great to hear you landed a new lease!

Southwest wind.

Southwest for us during season....hate it...

Seems the same in goliad county
Never bothers the deer, but for camping it causes some challenges.

Have fun at the new lease.
Pray for a wet summer. Makes for fat deer and bigger antlers.

You will encounter 50+ mph winds several times a year. Extreme heat and cold, and I do mean extreme.
That is my experience in 5+ years hunting south of ozona.
Predominant S-SW wind with some serious fronts coming from N-NE. Sometimes almost back to back.

Well doesn't that sound fun. I guess I shouldn't be complaining about the 25 mph winds

The wind is not always bad. It has been bad in all of West Texas this year.

Wind is usually out of the south. Cold fronts blow in out of the north but the wind usually switches in 24-48 hours.

If you bowhunt you will appreciate hunting in an area with constant wind. The deer are used to it and it covers a lot of our movement and sound. Now when it dies down those deer will be on pins and needles because they can hear all kinds of stuff they normally dont. Good luck on your new place.

Anything you put up better be anchored or the wind will take it down sooner or later.
If you have deep canyons a 40 plus mile an hour north wind when it's cold will pile the deer into the East /West deep canyons.

It is a great area, just anchor everything well. There are times you will wish for some wind...and shade.

Yep, you can count on wind for about 9-10 months out of the year, the only time it don’t blow is when it’s to hot to breathe and you wish you could get just a little breeze.

I agree with this 100%! You will learn to like the wind. The deer are very spooky on calm days.
