Does a cough keep you out of the woods?
 

If you feel fine, but you have a pretty consistent cough, would you stay out of the woods in fear of spooking deer or would you just hunt anyway?

If I need to cough while I'm on stand I put a glove over my mouth to suppress the noise.

I hate to miss a single day of the deer season if I can avoid it , and I own a Cough Silencer . Believe it or not those things actually work quite well .

I missed a week in mid October once due to a very bad cough. Once I got feeling better I went back and killed the biggest deer of my life. Had I gone while coughing my head off I most likely would have spooked the deer out of the country.

Had the problem last year.. couldn't shake this cough.. My brother and sister in law visited on Christmas after my folks left they both looked at me and told me I better try this medicine, wrote me a script (Both are doctors) and found out I was having allergen induced asthama.. Never felt bad, just had a cough I couldn't shake.. Now, no cough but we took care of the allergen.

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.

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.
