Whats everybody using and how much did you pay.

I use milk weed.  The seed pods are forming now.  When they dry out its time to pick a few.  I place them in a ziplock bag and put the bag the bow case.  I use an old film case when i'm in the tree.  Best thing about them is they are FREE!!!!!!!
Anything that is free is worth saving up for.

I saw this post was by DaKids and my first thought was he has found a way to play checkers with his kids using the wind,  :scratch:  I was wrong  :bonk:

Bobby, playing wind checkers is a lot easier than wind chess.

Here is a pic I took of a milk weed plant in the back yard.  Kids planted them for me.

Hunting is not life and death. It is more important than that.

So just when do you harvest these wind checkers?
