I am a smoker, soon to be ex-smoker hopefully. Anyways, we have 10 deer that we are raising and believe it or not they love cigarettes. If I go in the pen w/ a pack of smokes they will steal them and eat them. I know this post is probably gonna hurt, for me, because of all the bashing Im about to endure. But.. Last year I didnt have a tree-stand so I hunted ground blinds and I also just sat next to trees with ground cover. While hunting one evening I hadnt seen a thing and didnt expect to. I lit a cigarette and began to pack up (from the ground) when a doe and 2 fawns came in from downwind and stopped about 15yds away sniffing the air. Busted..but for some reason they paid more attention to the cigarette smoke floating in the air than me drawing my bow, and I was sitting in a wide open spot. Just dumb luck right... I had several trips last year that started with no deer anywhere and ended with me smoking and deer walking up within 30yds. I also had trips where I left my cigarettes in the truck to keep me from smoking while hunting and saw nothing. IMO deer are naturally curious and the smell of the cigarette must have drawn them in to check it out. Unfortunatly for the deer I got 2 does and an 8pt using this dumb luck stratagy. Has anyone else done anything that should have sent deer running but instead they came in?
