RE: Need a little help please... I am a new hunter
Being bow season is getting ready to come in I am assuming you are going to be bow hunting. There is really no good product that is going to keep you scent free. In hunting the wind will either be your best or worst frend. Having 2 stand locations isnt a bad idea because then you have the option of keeping a good wind.
Your gonna wanna be in a spot between 15 to 25 yards tops off thatg trail and make sure you have atleast 2 solid shooting lanes. A trail going to and coming from a food source this time of year is ideal.
As far as smoking in your stand. It depends on the wind. The wid at my back I try to limit myself to about 1 cigarette every 2 hours and dont throw the buts nor the ashes to the ground. When its in my face I'll smoke normally about 1 every 30 to 45 minutes or so and it doesnt seem to lessen my chances. I've had a doe in shooting range, rested a lit cigarette on my seat, stood up drew on the doe, made a perfect double lung shot, sat back down, finished my cigarette, and retrieved my deer maybe 40 yards away.No BS!! So bring your smokes with you and if the winds in your face smoke away.JMVHO
Hunting isn't just a hobby, its a way of life.
