I know smoking on stand is not a smart thing to do, but I will confess that I have, but only with a good steady wind, I have put cigarettes out to kill a deer. Last year I had just stuck a doe and light one up to give her some time to expire, I was about half done with the smoke when another doe came from the exact same direction as the one I just stuck had! I put the smoke out and waited for that doe to enter a shooting lane (we are allowed 2 a day in Va.), what amazed me was the doe I had stuck was laying right out in the open within 30 yards of the approaching doe, well I have to assume that this doe finally saw the other one and figured something was wrong and turned around and walked back the way she had just come. 2 more steps and I would have stuck her also.

I agree that smoking on stand is dumb as a box of rocks, but I do it sometimes and have still kiiled plenty of deer.
