RE: Do deer mind the smell of smoke?
Remember, as scentless as possible...look at this way, if your neighbor's cloths smell like campfire and he's busting deer, you can bet the deer associate that smell with danger. Same goes for cover scents like raccoon, skunk, fox or what not. If you have a slob hunter busting deer smelling the same, deer will learn the scent is danger....if your as scentless as possilbe, you stand a better chance.
