Default RE: Homemade wind checker??

The best thing I've found is dirt cheap. Free actually. Go and find a Milk Weed plant and take the stuff out of the pods when it starts to open up. It should be good and dry then. Sprays, powders, strings don't cut it for me. What the wind is doing 5' in front of your face may not be doing 20 yards from you. I let a piece of milk weed go and it goes in every direction the wind takes it and its visible forever until its a ways out of sight. You would be surprised how your wind changes direction 30 to 40 feet from your stand.
I'm with Shultzy on this one. Here's 3 easy steps!
Step 1: Find Milkweed Step 2: Extract seeds from pod. Step 3: Place in container of your choosing.




X3 - been using milk weed seeds for as long as I can remember. Theres enough seeds in one pod to last almost your entire season. You will be amazed at how far you can see them in the woods.

Good luck,

Brian
