Keith thanks for your help. I have never used any kind of indicator for the wind before now. I just watched the weeds and trees. Sometime's there was some surveyors tape left on the target board. And I have always questioned ...was it me or the wind... Mostly at 100yds. So I always second guessed myself. The use of these cheaply flags has GREATLY increased my confidence . I don't know how much wind effects these things at 100....but I am thinking somewhat. I use 3' of tape because 2was to fluttery. 3 seems to take more to get it blowing straight out. I am sure I will graduate to to more improved indicators. I will study them and pick a model to follow. I have never shot a deer over 200 yds....and most under 100,,,,, but things are a changing. My deer field is 300 and under yds across....and I am anxious to use all of it. Thanks to all and please keep the helpful information coming Drop

Just a thought...ya reckon that these type of flags strategically placed around the property would "spook" the deer? I think because of the movement it would. But...after a year I wonder if they would become accustomed to them....again I think movement would be my enemy Drop

Drop..
If you placed the flags out along the property a month in advance the deer would be use to them and not pay any attention to them at all.. The surveyors tape don't smell like a human and that's what spooks deer.....
i know people that hand aluminum pie plates and stuff around their garden to keep the deer away.. It works for about a day or two.... If you go to the barber shop and get a bag of human hair and scatter it around the garden the deer will stay away for a few days longer, but they get use to that as smell and that bunch of almost ready to pick corn is worth it to them to see if you're really sitting in the garden.
