Default RE: what do You use to check the wind?

Grass or leaves, whatever the heck is closer to me. LOL

I am not gonna spend my money on a hyped up product when nature provides it's own sources of checking wind.

As far as making a difference in stand, I don't bother with it. I have deer come from all directions, so if the wind is blowing my scent behind me, I know there is a *chance* I will have a deer come in from that direction, but I focus most of my scouting on the area in front of me and vice versa.

Hunting the wind doesn't make much sense to me considering where I hunt I am either smack dab in the middle of the woods or on the edge of a field and woodsline... there are deer all around, so what the heck does it matter?It's not like all of the deer are concentrated in one single area... I never have understood that. The only time I care about wind is when it is over 15mph and I ain't goin' out to sit in a tree then anyway.

I always say to each his own though, we all hunt different and no one is less of a person for the products they choose to buy or the methods they choose to hunt.
