Author Topic: Homemade Wind Checker...... Guru Admin Member # 616 posted                     Ya know,ya try to help some folks out...and this is what happens! Make them if you want,if ya don't..THEN DON'T!! Bryan...I use those wind checker bottles too...but I've never thought to mount one upside down on my bow like these.Good idea -------------------- Curt } >>---> "I love you Daddy".......My son Cade while stump shooting 3/19/06 Posts: 16326 | From: NY | Registered: Apr 2003  |  IP: Logged |  BryanB Trad Bowhunter Member # 5829 posted                     Guru- I really like the idea of mounting your case on your bow quiver. I hang mine off my shoulder strap on my back pack. I don't really like that because I have to take my eye off my suroundings to find it. Good tip. Bryan Posts: 619 | From: Portland, OR | Registered: Feb 2005  |  IP: Logged |  WaKeDa BT Trad Bowhunter Member # 5785 posted                 Looks like a good way to carry a scent canister during the rut or one of those wick jobs. Cool way to mount stuff. I just need to figure a way to adapt the idea to a stand since I don't carry my quiver on my bow. -------------------- "Shoot'em when they ain't lookin" Posts: 2690 | From: Arkansas | Registered: Feb 2005  |  IP: Logged |  Rick Perry Trad Bowhunter Member # 213 posted                     i carry bright colored yarn tied to a button or sumpin ......... just pull off a few strands and watch em "float like a butterfly " ! -------------------- "Pick a spot" RLP Posts: 462 | From: Illinois | Registered: Mar 2003  |  IP: Logged |  Howard S. Contributor 2007 Member # 2906 posted                     Curt, I've been using milkweed for a couple of years now. Since I learned about them from one of my IBEP students. Great idea with the film canister. Sure beats digging the pill bottle out of my pocket, twisting the cover off, etc. I'll be making one of these for this weekend. Howard Posts: 111 | From: White Lake, MI | Registered: Feb 2004  |  IP: Logged |  Jerry Young Trad Bowhunter Member # 7199 posted                     Thanks for the idea, made mine today and look forward to using it on opening day, this Saturday. Thanks again, Jerry Posts: 185 | From: NY | Registered: Sep 2005  |  IP: Logged |  Ryan Rothhaar Charter Member # 2652 posted                     Curt Good idea! Lately I've just been pulling yarn off of the string silencers J.D. put on the Ancient Spirits bow he built me. Must be 6 lbs of yarn in each silencer! When I get those silencers pared down some I'm gonna drill me a film bottle. BTW: Dandy arrows, I really like the broadheads! I'm heading to Iowa this weekend for my first hunt there this year....8 hours each way is a bit of a drive for a weekend hunt....but its worth it Ryan Posts: 1002 | From: Indiana | Registered: Feb 2004  |  IP: Logged |  Guru Admin Member # 616 posted                     Glad I could help guys.When thread runs it's course,I'll move it to the "how to" forum. Ryan,thanks man.......I thought a lot about what you said on that other thread..made a lot of sense to me...decided I wanted to really give them a fair try.I like the extra weight too.Hope to run one thru a deer this weekend!!! Good Luck in Iowa...I'd drive 8hrs to hunt Iowa anytime...wish I was that close.But I'm gonna drive 17hrs to hunt 7-8 days in Nov.!!! I Can't wait!!!!!!!!!!! -------------------- Curt } >>---> "I love you Daddy".......My son Cade while stump shooting 3/19/06 Posts: 16326 | From: NY | Registered: Apr 2003  |  IP: Logged |  Pat B Trad Bowhunter Member # 477 posted                     There are many plants, all over the country, that use the wind to disperse the seeds. Lots of these will work. Around where I live we have a wild lettace that produces "little Santa Clauses" that work the same as milkweed. Some farmers might not like it but the monarch butterflies will love you for spreading milkweed. Pat -------------------- Make the most of all that comes and the least of all that goes! TGMM Family of the Bow Posts: 10117 | From: Brevard, NC. | Registered: Apr 2003  |  IP: Logged |  Frank V Trad Bowhunter Member # 3547 posted                     The Milk Weed canister is a great idea. I like to tie a small light feather to a 6" piece of sewing thread or dental floss, then attach it to my upper limb with a small piece of beeswax. I put one on each bow I hunt with. I used to tie it to the bowstring, but spent way too much time unwraping the feather from the bowstring. Bob Burton gave me the idea of attaching it to the limb. Frank -------------------- U.S.A.

You scatter some to the wind and watch them for 50 yards? I don't think I'd be able to see them that far. But, I'm a novice at this stuff, so I'm always learning. -------------------- "Whosoever shall call upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved."

I like your idea much better.

If milkweed is not around your area cattail works pretty good, better than cotton or yarn. The way I've always done it is put the down in a plastic bag. When I get on stand I take a pinch of down and smear it onto my fleece/wool pants or jacket. Some falls off but a lot stays stuck to the pile of the garment. Then I just reach down, pluck a few fibers off the top of my thigh and let them go. Posts: 201 | From: Milton, DE | Registered: Aug 2003  |  IP: Logged |
