RE: smoking on stand????????
I know a guy who honestly chain smokes cigarettes, one after another. He has more 130-165 inch deer mounted that he has killed than anyone I have seen in my life. I about crapped my pants after seeing his trophy room and then again after finding out he will smoke a pack everytime he hunts. This is also in PA where deer of this caliber are true trophy's. I smoke but very rarely in the stand. If the wind is right I will on occasion. The last three times I have been smoking in the stand, I had a buck come within 15 yrds dead down wind and not scent me. It really is a wonder in my hunting ways.
