Saw someone use a butane lighter, very sensitive even in very low, imperceptible wind.

Of course no worry about bullet deflection at bush ranges, but scent drift.

Lighter or lenght of Dental Floss taped to muzzle .

Lighter, but I don’t check often. I plan my route based on forecast wind direction, with adjustment for actual breeze when I get there.
I tend not to hunt on windy days as I use my hearing more than my sight for finding animals.

lately Ive been using deer...they always seem to be downwind no matter which way we try to hunt....or maybe its just my butt???? as the wind always seems to be blowing up it!!!!!

shave hair off behind your ears or use a lighter.(lighter to see wind direction NOT for removing hair)

Yes Lou

How about a tuft of golden pubic hair ( ideally female ) from a beauty salon or an at home girlfriend shaving ses for younger blokes hung from the barrel - great talking point and could be stag attractant.

O yea nothing quite like removing pubic hair from a blond on all fours @Moa Hunter , iv got some here I can send it to you if you like ?...not paying for postage though.

Lick a finger and hold it up

Here in the States, I like to use dried milkweed pods. You can pull out individual seeds with a whisp of hair on them and let them go in the wind. You can see them for a long ways, so it gives you a better idea of what the wind is doing overall instead of just at your location. This is very helpful when treestand hunting. If mountain hunting I use a wind indicator bottle filled with orange carpenters chalk.

Chalk works really well. Also, Unscented talcum powder. Don’t use the scented stuff, it’ll blow a whole area of game. Unscented works well though, and it’s super cheap.
