Wind Feathers.......what's your experience?

[Roger Norris]

Unwaxed dental floss. No thread. The stuff I'm in a thread would last 3 or 4 steps.

    Is that what that big old lime green fussy thing was hanging from your bow string!   A wind feather, eh

I attach a olive malibu feather to floss and hang from my quiver, works great.

Unwaxed dental floss and milk weed.

Those feathers either are tangled up or get ripped off

I use a piece of frayed dental floss on my bow string.
When moose hunting in Newfoundland some time back, my guide asked what it was for.
I told him it let me know when the stalk was over.

I've noticed everytime the wind feather blows towards the deer they seem to SEE it, then snort and run away. They must have really good eyes. UB

I use a logging chain here in Cody. It serves two purposes wind detection and slows me down so I hunt better    .

Have always used a wind feather. Easy, simple, & work perfect. But, they can get caught on trees & bushes slinking through the woods. Just get another. Keep 3-4 made up all the time.

Barry. .  that happens to me as well.  They sure do have good eye sight.  That is why I always use Chickadee breast feathers.  The deer see Chickadees all the time and aren't afraid of them at all.  Since I went to using Chickadee breast feathers, I have not been busted like that even once.
