RE: smoking in the tree stand?
My father-in-law made me realize that everything I thought should be in hunting was not. Let me explain; he smokes like a chimney, wears jeans, white tennis shoes, and a flannel shirt in his stand. This was my first hunting trip with him years ago. Of course I was in camo, cover scent and the works. Wouldn't you know it he killed more deer than anyone in camp. On the other side last year he told me while he was smoking a cigarette the wind changed and went right towards an 8 point that was walking to him, when the deer caught the wind he bolted. So I really do not know the true answer to this as well!!!
