Yep, the internet is the king of misinformation. Anyone that thinks it doesn't affect or have an effect is just trying to justify what they do.

I would say it has alot to do with where you hunt and the smells the deer usually smell anyway. I know when I hunt up in Newfoundland, those moose probably never has seen a human, and we have been hiding before in black spruce and a moose would walk downwind from us, and even at 100 yards, would freak out when they get downwind, and take off running. My guides smokes like a frieghttrain.

I have seen bear do the same.

Its dadgone hard to put on a stalk on a moose if don't get downwind of him.

If you hunt in heavily populated areas where there maybe horse riders or alot of people around, I don't think it bothers them as much.

But you are not going to convince me that its better for you and hunting not to smoke or urinate out of your stand. Thats just silly.
