Even when it seems there is no wind there likely is a bit. A steadier wind is often better with less chance of swirling but make sure to keep any wind that exists in your face.
Like a lot of the other guys have said, more than likely you were just moving too quickly. I find myself doing this at the start of the year or if I only have a day to hunt. Don't rush. Take your time and really slow down. So slow it seems ridiculous.
