RE: What do you use to check the wind direction when hunting?
You can get them at an outfitter but, another way is to get a small Elmers glue bottle like they use in Kindergaden and fill it with baking soda, flour, powdered chalk, powdered sugar. Basically anything that is a very fine powder. I mainly use chalk and I don't leave home without one. Also another thing you need to think of when setting your stand up is that the way the wind is blowing today is probly going to be different then November. We mostly have wind from the S, SSW, SW, WSW or W during this time of year but come late October, November, and December it is mostly out of the WNW, NW, NNW, and N. It may be different in Virginia though. Good Luck
