Aug/Sept here. 35mm film containers are what I like. Also a dip or buble tape can with a slit in the top

I'm sure someone would mail you some in the late summer if you come back here and ask.

I think there is a monarch butterfly organization that will send you free seeds to plant in your yard. I will search for it and post the site name if I find it again.

I keep them in the pods they come in(nature packs them best), and put those in a small ziplock bag. Since they are free, I may use up to 4 or 5 pods a day.

lol. When either Bighunt or I are on stand it looks like its snowing outside!

There will be plenty in the ditches all across Missouri this year. I HAD quite a few in the bed of my truck...

Wow, I thought I was using a lot and went through a pod every couple hunts. Careful, people will be able to find your spots by the giant patches of milkweed that pop up the next year

Same here. I also use them scouting to find odd currents and swirls.

I have a ton in big paper bags right now...Well,maybe a few lbs. not counting pods. I had hoped to pick them right as the were about to open and some would stay "almost" open until next year. Very few did.

Next year I'm going to try harvesting the almost-open ones and putting a small rubber band around them.

BTW,I can usually find a few good pods on my way into the woods right up to late November.

Also,anyone every dig a few wet pods out of wet pockets at the end of a rainy day and put them on the truck dash to dry?...Don't. Trust me on that. They dry halfway home and suddenly the truck interior is full of blowing floaties.

Here is how I carry my milkweed seeds, I use a 35mm film canister, drill a small hole in the bottom to pull the seeds from as you can see in the photo. On this one I also drilled a small hole in the lid and mounted it to my stabilizer. This way its always at the ready and within easy reach
