I think I would hunt with the bubonic plague. It still can't be worse than the best day at work when your healthy.

No, I would go and do my best to supress it ( wash cloth, glove, hand or whatever ). If I'm not dying, I'm in the stand. And even then, if I die during deer season,I might still have to be late for my own funeral.

RE: Does a cough keep you out of the woods?

I have cystic fibrosis. That damn disease causes me to cough alot and all be damned if thats going to keep me out of the woods doing what I like to do!!! Only one time can I remember actually spooking deer to coughing. Or maybe thats the only time I remember because it was a shooter buck about 50 yards out and was headed right for me. I was coughing enough thatmorning that I should have just got down and went back to the truck. I guess it depends on your cough.
