With all the different winds and thermals changing direction over the course of a hunt, I am trying to find the best solution for how to find wind direction as powders might do ok with wind direction, but not so well with thermals.

Milkweed is an excellent, natural option for determining wind direction when hunting. Milkweed is lightweight and has a silky, cotton-like substance (called coma) attached to them, allowing them to drift easily with even the slightest breeze. To use milkweed as a wind indicator, simply collect some mature milkweed pods before your hunting trip, open the pods, and remove the seeds with their attached coma. Store them in a small container or pouch that you can easily access while hunting. When you need to check the wind direction, take out a seed or two and release them into the air. The milkweed seeds will drift with the wind, providing a clear and accurate indication of the wind direction. Using milkweed as a wind indicator has several advantages for the average bow hunter:
Knowing the wind direction is crucial for successful hunting, as it helps you stay downwind of your target and avoid alerting them with your scent. Whether you choose milkweed, a wind checker, or another method, regularly monitoring the wind direction will increase your chances of a successful hunt. Marked as spam
