i ran this post last year.

this is the first year i've actually chewed in the stand. So far it hasn't affected me in any way. I've been chewing for about 3 years so, being able to do it in the stand is kind of nice. Anyways, most of the results i found last year guys were saying chewing doesn't make a damn bit of difference. Most of my buddies have told me that if anything it'll mask your breath, i don't see how, but whatever. So far i've seen deer every time i've been out and i've always had a dip in, never noticed any affect.
