RE: What do you use to check the wind direction when hunting?
I do what ducsauce does, and just use a piece of bright orange thread. The beauty of this method is that you can constantly check the wind instead of seeing a snapshot of a few seconds. I killed an eight pointer last year a couple of steps before he would have moved directly into the wind current blowing from him to me. I watched the thread and knew that he was about to wind me.
