You need the magnetic heading (or selected radial that you are going to intercept) not track to the VOR set on the instrument itself, the VOR doesn't know what the wind is. Then make a rough allowance for drift on your compass heading and see how it pans out. Don't sweat the numbers, all you need to be doing is tracking down your selected VOR radial and if you are far enough away the allowance for wind will probably change anyway.
