A nice hearty chew of Levi Garrett has never cost a single deer for me, I have actually SEEN a few deer come in right under me and check out the spit pile and still not spook, even on some highly hunted public national forest land I hunt sometimes. If I don't see a single deer at all during a hunt, it's not because I'm spittin' on the ground, it's because I chose a bad stand location, a bad time of day,or a bad day overall to hunt. I know I aint gonna be chewin on mud in the stand that's for sure, and I'm willing to bet that NOBODY here does that. Maybe the indians did it, but I'll betyou they chewed tobacco more than they did dirt or dadgum treebark. Talk about fiber!!![:'(][:'(][:'(]
