I don' t smoke, but both of my brothers do in their stand. They also seem to fill their tags every year. You would think with the odor and the movement involved, you' d have two strikes against you. A friend of mine chews while he hunts. One morning on his way to his stand he got a little lost and circled his tree a couple times. Later that hunt, he claims that the deer he harvested was attracted in by the wintergreen flavor trail he left while looking for his stand.
