What is that powder used to see air currents???
Dang it I saw it somewhere. It was little squeeze bottles that blow out a powder that will show the least little air current. I need to get some for coyote season. I see Cabela's sells some containers with some kind of fluff in them, but I think the powder may be better.

I have found milk weed pods in my area. They work great. I pull the seed off the fluff and just let go off the fluff while on the stand. Really light winds will be detected by this. You can't change the wind, but it will give you an idea on where to concentrate looking for deer to come from.
I hunt for memories, the meat's a bonus!
ecoaster: Easy one! Buy a box of cornstarch or baby powder. Pry off the top of one of the nose spray plastic bottles, rinse and dry it out . Fill it with the baby powder and voila you have enough wind indicator for the whole season. It really works. Striper
May your days be long and your hunts many. Pray that the God of the Bible will protect you as you go.

In each of my stands I hang a about a 12 in length of dental floss from a limb. It moves with the slightest breeze showing the air currents.
For a powder i would think flour or unscented talcum powder would do the trick.

I use chalk line powder. Comes in all kinds of colors. I use one of those nose spray bottles striper mentioned and fill as needed.

I use milkweed. You can see more than wind direction with them. You can also see thermals. Watch them as they move through the air, they will often change direction. They are free. They are already in the deer's home so they won't offend.
You can take the man out of the woods but you can't take the woods out of the man.
