Wandrews6002,

Sounds like you need a new huntin' buddy. Either that or a good talk?

One Thanksgiving I invited my cousin's husband to hunt with our group. As we were walking through the woods toward our tree stands he lit up a cigarette. We've never hunted together since. I don't even know if he ever wonders why I haven't asked him since?? As for a dip in the woods? I know it's nice to enjoy a dip in the great outdoors, but the deer can smell you coming a mile away.

Then again, I've heard stories from back in the day when old timers had a beer in one hand, a shotgun in the other and a cigarette in mouth while shooting big deer? Like I said.....just stories!

The truth is, you can do whatever you want to do. Just be respectful of the guys you're with. If you're alone, then smoke till your hearts content. To each his own.........
