I always have loved the fact that we have a couple year round fireworks stores in this state.
I stop and buy the tall 30 second smoke bombs to use for training (these are easy to hold by the bottom stabilizer to decrease fire risk here, and we always have a gallon of water too).
It is amazing what is taught out there, and then use these to learn what the wind actually does with scent. Different terrain, woods, prairie, hills, bowls, drainages, and the list goes on, is wonderful for just lighting one off and watching where it will travel to, settle, disperse and also the chimney effect.
They are great teaching tools. More people should use them.

Only I made a mistake in typing to fast when I said - no clouds - I meant overcast or dark where scent can fumigate - no clouds and sun - lots of vertical scent transport; hatch-graham and all that.
So you all are saying the best chance of a dog finding anything on it's nose is during a 30 or 40 mile an hour wind? Or higher if one can stand against it.
There must be a case of dimmishing returns someplace. First you're talking winds, now you're talking wafting currents and 1/2 mph breezes. Which is it going to be?
Somebody is wrong here.
If I'm not learning, I'm doing something wrong.

Edit reason: spelling
Randy,when I went back and re-explained what Sandra said it was not contradictory to what David said; it was just the way she phrased it initially. What do you find "wrong"?
In the hypothetical *coning* weather and terrain you have a tall skinny triangle on windy days so you may hit scent further out on less windy days you would have a short fat triangle. It's all rather academic though - so many other variables.
Actually Nancy, I think you've done a good job of qualifying the paramiters.
30 and 40 mph winds though fit within the higher winds equal a bigger cone criteria as presented in the S. Vernlund post.
Us beginners need clear instructions, not some half thought out random details from a larger text.
Thank you Nancy for clarifying what was otherwise very muddled.
If I'm not learning, I'm not paying attention.
