GUILTY for smokin.. ONLY when im up in the tree stand.. not on the ground.. 16 feet up.. not saying that makes much of a difference.. and depends on the wind.. this past season.. i had put a cigarett out, and 10 min later popped a button buck (thought to be a doe)
Two days later.. had a really noisy wrapper granolla bar.. couldnt help it.. damn thing wouldnt open cuz my fingers were frozen.. and i was so upset i made so much noise.. so i finish the granola bar.. lit a cig @ 8:02 sharp and @ 8:05 with cig in lip walks a monster 4 pointer.. i mean MONSTER size body.. as if he traveled from way up Canada or something.. looked like he escaped Saratoga Springs Raceway (horse Race) anyway.. the smoke was getting into my eyes when i had the cig in my mouth putting the X on the Buck, but.. got a clean heart shot.. @ 95 yards.. through thick trees n shrubs.
hopefully i'll have quit this dirty habbit by this upcomming season.. ive cut down to 3 cigs a day from 3/4 pack a day.
