i dip while on stand and do fairly well every year. I hunt off the ground spit where i kicked the leaves up and spray it with scent killer when im done and kick dirt over it. I dont know if it makes a difference or not. I agree dipping is not a sign of being a man its a weak persons addiction i've tried to kick the habit a few times recently with no success. I've cut way back hopefully soon i canget to the point where i dont even need the 2 chews a day. I'm tryin.
