    I was just checking the weather specifically the wind direction and speed for Saturday. I am going to have a perfect wind direction for this particular stand, that I have been waiting for all season!!! This question I have is the wind speed is going to be around 17mph. What would you do? Would you stay out of the stand, or would you sit?

    If it is the perfect direction what do you have to lose?

    Usually you have a die down newr sunset, prime time, so why not give it a go? You'll never get rid of the what if's if this is the one you have been waiting for and pass it up.
