Not exactly on the topic of dipping, but last season my brother sat down to have a one of his twently plus a day cancer sticks and had to stub it out to arrow a nice mule deer. This was the day after my other hunting partner arrowed an elk right after a smoke break (his not the elks...).

Were the animals checking out the smoke smell or was it coincidence? Granted, these were not heavily pressured and educated animals like your extra wary whitetails.

None the less, I might have to start smoking again...[&:]
