How to Use OnX Hunt Wind Tools • Optimal Wind for Deer Hunts
3m 17s
Learning a new deer lease means learning which stands to hunt on which wind. Michael Martin from Mossy Oak walks through the OnX Hunt Wind Tools feature step by step:
• Set an optimal wind on a waypoint:
Open any waypoint, find “Wind Direction” just below the color selection, and tap the plus sign. Pick your best wind and your marginal winds on the compass overlay.
• Green, yellow, red at a glance:
OnX shows whether a stand is good to go, marginal, or one to stay out of on today’s wind.
• Six-day wind calendar:
See predicted wind direction for sunrise, midday, and sunset, which helps when you’re squeezing in hunts before or after work.
• Hourly weather tab:
Temperature, wind direction, and barometric pressure, hour by hour.
• Compare Winds:
Check wind forecasts across all your visible waypoints at once to decide which stand to hunt and which to leave alone.
