Question

I was in the National Forest with my camera. The day was crisp, and the leaves were turning gold and red. When I spotted the white-tailed buck, I froze. He wasn't more than 15 yards from where I was standing. The wind must have been right, because he kept on browsing the mossy ground. I lifted my camera very slowly. Carefully, holding my breath, I lifted the camera to my eye. Turning the focus ring, I framed the deer's head. Just as I was ready to press the shutter release, the buck raised his head. He was looking my way with wide eyes. Click. I took the picture. An instant later, the deer bounded away into the forest. He took off, but I had the shot. Today, the framed photo of that buck hangs above our fireplace. What is the author implying in the phrase "the wind must have been right"?     

Answer 1

The phrase; "The wind must have been right" means that the main character was lucky enough to be at the right place at the right time to see Buck. Hope this helped!

P.S. I really need brainliest. So close to virtuoso >-<

Answer 2

The expression "wind must have been right" in this context, might mean that if it would have blown in other direction and the deer could have smell or sense the photographer, it would have run away and he would have lost the moment. So he was lucky enough to have the deer right there and the wind blowing to his favour. the deer escaped because of the click of the camera and not because it perceived him there.
