I can only go by my own experiences while hunting on this one. I have bowhunted for 29 seasons now, this one will be number 30. For the first 12 seasons I would not chew until I was out of the woods, for fear of it spooking deer. About 17 years ago, I had already tagged out on a nice buck, so I was doe hunting and thought, heck with it and put a cheekful of beechnut in. I had deer all around me that day, and they never reacted to the chew. Well, 17 years later, with over 50 more big game kills, including three record book whitetails, I have had a chew in for every one of them! And I do spit the juice all over the ground. Maybe I am just lucky, I don`t know.
