I smoke while hunting. I tried not smoking but found I got ansy after about an hour. So I tried smoking while hunting and I found that if I spray down with Carbon Blast or H.S. Scent-Away it helps keep the smell down. But like Bowdacious said, it always seems like I' m in the middle of one when the deer show up. If you' re gonna smoke, you' d better keep the wind in your favor at all costs. Good luck.
