Hey, the word FORMER should say enough, im not repling to get people pithed off, but a few years ago i was out checking out some areas to hunt,--NO WEAPONS- in hand or on person for that matter, other then a knife that always goes with me, i decided to sit down and have a ' smoke' - i had a doe come into the smell, right up to my boot, as i was sitting under a big pine tree. never spooked even after i let her know i was there, she just mozyied off. so i dont think the smell bothers them- Yes i know its illegal but, thats a story not for this forum.
