Milkweed is great because you can watch the intracacies of the scent stream.
That said most of the time I've gone back to using the smoke in a bottle. For me it gives me a good enough sense. You get to know the types of terrain features that are going to cause eddies or backdrafts of whatever. And I find it's quicker to deploy and a lot less messy.

Thinking black raspberry from my corn cob pipe. That, coupled with my acorn beard oil should bring them in from every direction.
Send me a PM.
I can ship tomorrow if you give me your full shipping info. Double check that it's correct.
I find most of my milkweed in old logging staging areas. I was just up in norther Pennsylvania a week or so ago for rifle and we found a bunch of nice dry pods. I took as many as my greedy little hands could hold. In the mountains is really neat to watch a piece go out and with unpredictable winds it will do some crazy stuff. Also, it gives me something to do when bored.
I pick all my milk weed too . And a few minutes of picking yeils enough milk weed for 2-3 seasons
be careful with some of the milkweed alternatives
folks were using glass microbubbles in a squeeze bottle
you don't want to breath that stuff or get it in your eyes....if i had to use it, i'd hold my breath and maybe pull a gaiter up over my nose and mouth as extra insurance
i've heard some of the feathers and things used for fly fishing work pretty well

I am in Ky I need to see if we grow it here and then find some hopefully.
I'd be shocked if it wasn't at least in eastern Kentucky because WV is so similar and it's everywhere here.
My wife researched and found Florida native milkweed species and she bought me 1....I screwed up and didn't pay attention and the other day I looked....5 shriveled pods with the seeds released. I've never seen it growing wild around here. I'm still using rabbit fur. Maybe our plant will produce again next year. The butterflies found it fast and I thought the pillars killed it but I guess not
If you could still see a smoke trail 80 yards away it would be great but who cares what the breeze is doing 4 ft away. I,ve observed milkweed float out of sight in the mountains and several minutes later, see it going a different direction farther away. The only problem w/it is you cant make it go the way you want no matter how hard you throw it.
