Where is everybody hunting that the wind only comes from one direction?
In the last 14 years of hunting, I have never had a stand where the wind did not swirl.
I believe the biggest gimmic in hunting are those "wind indicators".I can never believe my eyes when I walk into Bass Pro and see hunters paying money for those items. You can make them so easily yourself and save a boat load of money.
On my bow isa piece of dental floss with a small feather tied on the end.
Help me understand this post. First you say it is a huge gimmic then you suggest making them yourself and "save a boat load of money".
A bottle of powder windicator is like 3 or 4 bucks......
In my opinion if someone believes the use of a windicator is a gimmic I would suggest they do not know how to properly read what the powder is telling them.
My powder shows me the up and down drafts as well as any swirling, these are things my string cannot do.
A 1 oz bottle of Powder is$4.
A string with a feather attached at bass pro is $5.
An empty powder bottle at the hardware store is $0.39 and a large box of baking soda is $1. Total price = $1.39.
Gimic = Trick or device used to attract business or attention. What is so hard to believe about this? I am not saying the product doesn't work.
All these products are gimics since you can make them for less than 50% of the cost in the stores.
I know how to use the powder, I know how to read the thermal currents. I apply a good cover scent, I pee off the stand and have never had a problem being successful in a season.
