I always take food and drink with me because I never plan a time to leave the stand, It depends on whats happining in the woods whether I leave the stand early or late I never know till I get there. I also smoke in the woods because I dont think deer associate the faint smell of smoke with danger. They smell smoke all the time. Cookouts, brushfires, trash burning, etc. I have had deer come into me plenty of times while smoking, no matter what Im smoking.
