i chew tobacoo and i was wondering if it was a bad idea to chew in the stand and spit on the ground or is there a certain kind of chew that i could buy to use in the stand i normally chew skoal mint and i have shot deer in the stand but never spit on the ground always in a bottle but it is always a hassle to being an extra thing out there and bring it out of the woods so for any of you who chew out there do you do it in the stand and spit on the ground swallow it or just bring a bottle out there...this is kind of a stupid question but i just dont want the time to be right and see a nice deer and have it get spooked by the smell of my chew spit thanks again

My brother chews Red Man on stand, spits on the ground, and has killed a deer every year he has chewed. Again, its a wind thing. They have spooked on his spit spots, but lots of deer just smell it even lick it. For some reason they keep coming back...

I am usually pretty tough about scent control, but every once in awhile I get in the mood for a chew. I just spit in an empty bottle. I have shot many deer with chew in my mouth. That being said, I hardly ever chew anymore, but once hunting season rolls around, I start to get the urge.
Not a dumb question it's asked every year. (and this won't be the last for this year).
I dip Copenhagen. I don't carry a spit bottle, I've tried, I usually drop it or spill it anyway. I've never seen a negative reaction with deer under my stand in the area. Am I saying it's impossible that it would scare them of course not. But I haven't seen it. To me it's an enjoyable part of the hunt. I'm not going without it.

Besides the cope. I'm a poor college kid, Grizz it is[8D]
I dip Garrett's Sweet Snuff. It doesn't develop alot of juice so I don't have to spit alot. Last year I spit at the base of my tree and one morning had 2 does and 2 fawns come right underneath my ladderstand (wasn't expecting them to come from behind me). They sniffed it and then went about their business. Admittedly, the result might have been different had it been a mature buck, but it's a chance I take.

I use to dip copenhagen. Ive had a few deer spook from the smell but those came right under the tree where I had been spitting for hours. I shot a doe several years ago and the two little ones that were with her wouldnt leave. They both were directly under my stand, I spit on the button buck and hit him right in the nose. That did the trick. I dont dip anymore but regardless what you dip it is added scent and if you are trying practice good scent control then it kinda defeats the purpose. One other point to add, everytime you bend over to spit thats just extra added movement that big boy that is standing 50 yards behind you checking things out could see.
I tried chewing on my treestand once but I almost broke a tooth on the metal. lol j/k. i smoke while in my stand. have to really pay attention to the wind.
