I'm a smoker and I agree w/ your son. I see lots of does too, some bucks, I think smoking is a handicap in the woods for sure. I have friends that use my stands and they see more deer than I do. Maybe its timing but his 5 days compared to my 25, I've cut back and will try to quit. Most of the bucks I see are walking into my stand or still hunting through the thick pines.Congrats, and stick w/it. Starting to wonder if chew is the same handicap, less smell but there is some.
