A question for everyone. What is your favorite or most effective wind detector that you have used?

Powder in a squeeze bottle for me.

Stick my finger in my mouth and hold it up in the air. Where's it get cold first? That's where the wind is coming from.

Whatever light weight grass seeds or pine nettles I can get a hold of. That or a pinch of dust/dirt

King mountain 100 cigarette

J/k

I just use the smallest thing I can reach from my stand and drop it. Something like a leaf or fibers from the bark of a tree

This year I bought Code Blue Smoke Detector when I was at Cabela's. It worked great. Shake it up and give it a squeeze. Fits right in a pocket. In the past I have used sewing string tied to my rifle or a small feather from a grouse. I do like the Code Blue the best.

"Smoke in a Bottle" for me.

My shaved head. With all of the nerves and blood vessels in your head, you feel EVERYTHING. Especially if you've worked up a sweat. Just take my hat off and the side that's got the chill is where the winds coming from.

2nd best is a squeeze bottle filled with rock climbers chalk. I picked up a fairly big bag of it for a buck or two. Doesn't cake together, easy to see and doesn't have any oder. Bag has enough for years worth of hunting.

Cant really beat "Breeze Squeeze". Pretty much any powder in a squeeze bottle will let you know the slightest wind direction which is very important. Most important tool on me besides my bow IMO.

I have a grouse belly feather tied to my bow's riser. I can tell wind direction without moving a muscle or making a sound.

Refried bean burrito with onions. Anyone downwind of me can smell me from way way way off...

A buddy gave me a length of Ghost Cocoon sturgeon bait thread. I've got about 4" tied to my bow. It picks up breezes that my "Spidey Sense" can't detect.

I bought a firefly electronic wind detector. Works great, but still rely on the wind on my skin.
