i dont see where it makes a difference at all. I hunt off the ground and have killed deer with a bow with no problems from snuff. They dont associate the smell with danger. I dont worry about spitting in a bottle either i just let r rip and it hasnt gave me any problems. i couldnt imagine sitting there for a few hrs waiting for things to calm down to get to prime time without a dip in. I always take my dip out though about 45mins before dark so i dont have to make ne unnecessary movements or sounds when the deer usually show.
