I need to get something help me determine my scent stream…I know people use milk weed but where do I buy some? Or an effective alternative.
I look for it scouting but never seem to find any.
Thanks

When all things are considered, nothing is better than milkweed.
Cotton is heavier and just doesnt float as far, I know because I've compared it side by side.
Puff bottles are just one step up from not having anything at all. Powder only shows what the wind is doing a yard or 2 away.
Under the right lighting conditions, milkweed can sometimes be seen for 80 yards or more.
Cattail is pretty good but it really needs to be in a container of some kind and that often requires dealing with a lid...too much messing around with lid management.
Milkweed comes with the best container...the pod itself. Milkweed floaters can be released 1 at a time or dozens at a time. Nothing shows the true size of your scent cone as well as a couple dozen milkweed floaters released simultaneously...can't do that with cotton. And cotton balls need to be pulled apart into individual floaters but milkweed floaters are pre-formed into a nice 1" floater. Cotton just can't compare.
2 things about milkweed...
You have to keep it dry similar to any floater, and you can't pluck/release it while wearing gloves made of fabric. The floaters stick to the glove.
I have plenty of dried milkweed pods, all rigged up with clips to attach them to your coat for quick access with minimal movement.
Check out "Pods for a Cause". Get some quality floaters and donate to charity at the same time.
PM me if you want some.
