Danny I had to laugh at that, I have never done it, but I might yet.

Okay now on to the question, NO you shouldn' t smoke on stand! I do, but as little as possible, as mdbo says I feel it is the movement of smoking that will get you busted more than anything. When ever I make a blind or sit in a stand I always make sure that movement is concealed or limited extremely. In a ground blind I will actually get on my knees to smoke to keep any movement to a minimum. I have put down more than one smoke over the years to take a shot, heck last year I dropped a doe with my bow about 20 yards out in a cut through, as I waited for her to totally expire I lit up and was leaning against the tree in front of my blind and was about half way through with a smoke when I caught movement to the left out of the corner of my eye! It was another doe, (you are allowed 2 a day in Va.) I slowly dropped to one knee, layed the cigarette on the ground, picked up my bow and as she entered the shooting lane not 3 yards from the doe I had already dropped she busted me as I drew!!!! I still wish I didn' t smoke and do keep it to a minimum on stand.
