RE: Who smokes while they are hunting?
Obviously, I don't recommend it, but I smoke, and yes, while hunting. This thread made me reflect back through the years, and I believe nearly every buck I've taken since I got out of the service, including four that score between 141"-163 ", I had a cig. lit or just finished it. I'm not concerned with the smell factor because, IMHO, if the buck can smell your smoke, they can smell your scent. That's why I concentrate on finding wind transition areas. The movement/noise involved with smoking is more detrimental, IMHO, while hunting.
