Use of milkweed while scouting?
Sorry if this is a silly question, but was just curious if anyone uses milkweed while scouting in the off season? I’m new to beast style and am still early in the learning stage. Also looking for some if anyone has a couple of pods left over, would gladly pay for it.

Absolutely you should, a great way to test the swirling wind and other factors. It doesn't work all the time because you can get the wrong wind on scouting days but I always have some with me. I do sometimes plan my scouting based on the wind so I can take advantage of the milkweed.

Of coarse! Very important for those solid buck bedding areas. The big boys will be tough to get close to.
PM me if you want. Im in MO as well, not sure if I have any pods left but lots of cottonwood. I have enough of that to last a decade - thanks Boogieman
You can use cotton balls if needed, small fine pieces fly well.

Re: Use of milkweed while scouting?
Thanks for the responses fellas! I’m kinda anxious to check out some of my prior set locations and see what was really going on with certain winds and taking thermals into account using milkweed. I have a suspicion it may help answer some questions as to why I may get busted or not see anything. Always thought if I had a NW wind, I had a NW wind, and so on. So much to learn about wind/thermals.
