Yep, Just grabbed a handful of pods along a roadside last week.

Anyone able to send pods snail mail? I live way out of state where I hunt and have no milkweed where I live.

I seen eBay has milkweed for sale. 10 pods for 6$. People use it for caterpillars I guess.

I use an empty pill bottle. drill hole in top of lid,unscrew and place all the milkweed in. they pull right out the top

I take them out of the pod and stuff a bunch in one of those rubber change pouches. I have a small pocket on my KUIU bino holder that it fits perfect in and easy to access .

Guys, this is all awesome stuff that will keep me out of the doghouse from getting seeds and milkweed all over the house because the pod is slid in my pocket!

Just picked about a dozen pods the other night. I found if I let them dry for a day I was able to then peel off the very outer skin, which left a breathable membrane still holding the seeds and fluff together. I figured maybe they would dry a bit quicker than leaving the outer shell on or splitting it open. I guess I'll find out

If no access to milkweed I would think cotton balls would work

I used to use egg yarn from flytying when I lived out west. Would carry different colors for different light conditions. But I found milkweed can't be beat in the long run.

I mailed off about 10 pods to a beast memeber today

Harvest time.



This will easily last me all season.



Remember to spread the seeds to keep the crop spreading.

Your not supposed to release a whole pod at once Neil.

Marsh hunting I use 3-4 pods a season. Last year in the hills I used 8 pods. Much more needed in hill country with the finicky thermals.

Only way I could possibly hunt more is if I quit my job. Believe me that has crossed my mind a few times.

Better pick some pods in Iowa.......I hear they are way bigger there.
