    It's all over and ready to be had!! For those who've never tried It go and find some and give It a try. Best wind and thermal Indicator out there If you ask me and It's cheap.


    Here's a picture of It for those who don't know what It looks like.

    Do whatever you want with It. I've got about 5 years of milkweed stashed In a ziplock bag. I wear a baseball type hat that has ear flippers that fold up. I take the milkweed and stuff It In there. Never comes out on It's own.

    I saw some stuff floating right down the hill I was hunting off tonight. The downward thermals were really working the last hour of the day today. If anything would have come in like I expected they would have never known I was there to kill them. :)

    Shultzy is right. I stuff a 35mm film canister full with them. Don't ask me how long I've been saving film canisters. I have a couple dozen at least and haven't bought film since digital cams came out. Great tip, Steve.

    Schultzy brotha our family was at the Racine County Zoo here in Wisconsin yesterday and my son Dylan says DAD check this out feel how soft it is. I said hey thats milkweek and of course I grab some and throw it in the air. My youngest Cole (Frog_slayer on here) says he dad you can use that to check the wind when you go hunting. I said you are right and buddy you remind me of someone up to the north thats pretty smart and cool too.

    Thanks Steve,
    T
