- The disclosure relates to the field of wind detection in hunting, and more particularly to a hands-free, attachable wind detection device for bow hunting.
- In the field of hunting, hunters often spend hours or days tracking their prey forgoing modern luxuries such as running toilets, showers, clean shaves, or fresh laundry. This generally leads to a very dirty and smelly hunter tracking an animal such as deer, which is a very scent-sensitive creature. Wind direction can make or break a hunt; if a smelly hunter is positioned upwind of his prey, his scent can tip off his prey and run away thus ending a long hunting trip with no reward.
- Hunters then have a need for wind speed and direction detection without removing their hands from their hunting equipment (e.g., bow, rifle). Common wind detectors are a simple squeeze bottle with talcum powder that can be kept in the hunters' pockets. This remedy requires the hunter to remove his hand from the hunting equipment, reach into the pocket, grab the bottle, pull it out of the pocket, squeeze it, and then place the bottle back into the pocket before he places his hand back on his hunting equipment. Any one of these movements can spook the prey and end the hunt with no reward.
- What is needed, is a means to provide a wind detection device that attaches directly to a piece of hunting equipment, headgear, or clothing and remains attached, thus eliminating the need for a hunter to take his hands off the hunting equipment while checking for wind direction, as well as eliminating any unnecessary movements that could scare off the prey.
- Accordingly, the inventor has conceived and reduced to practice, in a preferred embodiment of the invention, a device for an attachable wind detector that affixes directly to a hunting equipment removing need for unnecessary hand movements.

In an optional step, hunter may choose to reattachdevice 303 to a different position along bow. -
FIG. 4 is an illustration of an exemplary wind detection device according to a preferred embodiment of the invention, illustrating use 400 of wind detection device attached to surface of a hunting bow.Device 101 attaches to surface ofhunting bow 201 via an adhesive placed between bisected flat surface ofdevice 101 and surface ofhunting bow 201. Detector contents 402 a such as talcum powder are contained withindevice 101. User ofdevice 101 such as a hunter, may apply pressure 401 todevice 101 walls that are not attached to surface ofhunting bow 201. The pressure 401 from user pushesdevice 101 walls in towards the bisected wall, thereby squeezing detector contents 402 a withindevice 101. Detector contents 402 a move from the applied pressure 401 ofdevice 101 walls and move upwards throughlid 103 and continue upward throughmouth 105 ofdevice 101. Once outside ofdevice 101, detector contents 402 b may then be subjected towind 403;wind 403 pushes detector contents 402 b alongwind 403 path and thereby dispersesdetector contents 404. According to how detector contents 402 b are dispersed 404, hunter will have a notion of which way their scent is floating with thewind 403 and will be able to make more accurate decisions regarding hunting. If there is little to nowind 403, detector contents 402 b may disperse 404 by falling to the ground, hanging in the air, or gently floating around or away. -
