I smoke about a pack a week, but when I'm at hunting camp, or fishing, I smoke a pack a day.Don't smokewhen I'm bow hunting, but with rifle I smoke.I'll hold off opening day, at least till noon, maybe have one or two, then stop from 2 - 5. I'll throw on some more cover scent, and your good to go. When does or small buckscome in the area,I'll wait awhile, but if they bed down, I'll purposely light up toget their reaction, and they really don'tgive a damn. An alert, older doe will bolt if the smoke hits her, but not all the time. When I started hunting, all the older members smoked when hunting andshotbig deer. Is now any different than then ?
