[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1326847, member: 10291"] Like Theis, I try to vision the air flow like water flow, particularly with valleys, shelves, coulees, and disruptions to the topography. IMO, complex terrain features such as these are by far the most difficult of LR hunting shots.. In this terrain, I have many times passed on the shot, or tried to re-locate if a gusty wind was greater then 10mph and the distance much further then 500- 600 yards. This is better then risking a wounded animal. The wind can many times work for you for a more certain shot. As a general approach, I like to get multiple distance wind reads from grass, leaves, or mirage. Lots of practice is the only way to get better, and, also lets you understand the conditions when a first shot hit is risky and Plan B is a good idea. [/QUOTE]
