What do you guys do if the winds swirling around and theres not really any other place out of the wind near by?

Keep hunting and try to get back into a more wind friendly position.

I have a spot i hunt in a howling southerly. Its the only sheltered spot for miles in that wind and of course it eddys and swirls.
Anytime it goes up my behind i speed up until it changes then slow right down again.
By going fast your scent won't get far in front and being in an eddy situation it will only be a couple of min and back to some other more favorable direction.

Climb higher above the zone you want to hunt and look down on it as you sidle, rather than looking ahead from within the zone.

A bit of elevation is almost always your friend. If you observe deer, they always look down for danger, and seldom up.
