Its probably not good to chew in the stand, but there are so many scents a deer can pick up that I think chew won't be the one that gets me busted.

Last year I forgot a water bottle to spit in and was just spitting on the ground under my stand. I was hitting my bottom screw in step when I spit and I watched a 7 pt (non-shooter) come in and lick that tree step for a good minute. It was a sight to see having him directly underneath me. One of the cooler things I've seen while hunting.
