I do know one outfitter in particular that stongly discourages his clients from smoking in their stands while black bear hunting.He has had a few hunters in the past that seemed to have exceptionally bad luck and hardly saw any bears at all while everyone else saw many.When asked point blank all but one hunter admitted to smoking in his stand.The one that continued to deny smoking in his stand was finally found out when he was discovered hiding butts near the stand while waiting for his guide.
