Default Apple Skoal?

I've gotten my friend to not smoke on stand, but he chews and we just thought the other day if apple skoal might even work as an attractant if anything. It smells real enough........

I try my best not to dip while on stand but when the deer aren't moving, it's hard not to.......should just keep the crap in my truck so I don't get urges. The Apple blend would probably attract the deer from miles away....it's good, but it has such a strong odor, strong enough that the deer might think it's an entire orhard. haha I still wouldn't advise it though. I like to stay as scent free as possible.

I dip apple skoal and did during last season as well. Every deer i shot was while a dip was in or after i had been spitting on the ground so it deffinitly doesnt' hurt anything. Opening morning i had been spitting on the ground before daylight, at daylight i had 3 does below and around my stand including one doe right below my stand who was eating acorns about 8" from my spit and used dip on the ground. She even smelled it and went back to eating. Not sure if it attracted her to the spot or not but she didn't care if it was there. go ahead and tell him to dip it while on stand. I have been tempted to put acan out infront of my stand and see what happens as deer pass by it. Just can't bring myself to leaving a good can of dip on the ground to maybe get spilled. lol. Best of luck

apple skoal.... yiggity yiggity yiggity that stuff gives me the willies. Gotta stick with the copenhagen, but I don't recommend dipping in the stand. Have you ever noticed (if you live in the right area)that you very rarely see deer in tobacco fields? They don't like it. Not saying you can't kill deer with it in, as I have and many others but I would try not to.

Iuse to dip when I hunted. I had two does out in front of me when I had a dip in and I was on a log on the ground. Well I had to spit and couldn't move cause they were already spooked. I ended up swallowing some because I couldn't get my bottle and gagged cause of it. I have never dipped in the woods while hunting again. I knew I could have had one if it wasn't for the Skoal.

The Apple smell stinks! Not natural. But it may arouse curiosity from some deer.

Berry blend is the worst my friend chews that crap and it smells like a bad car freshener. He’s always like “you really think that’s why I’m not getting them close?” Makes for some good laughs at work cuz the dork just doesn’t get it!

When I used to chew I liked Mint. Never saw ill effects from it. Pretty mild smell if you ask me.

They make "apple skoal" now? The last time I noticed, and when I chewed, they just came out with cherry.

Hmm, I wonder if that would be considered "baiting"?
