I quit last year, and went thru my first season without a copenhagen dip. And I can say, I saw more deer, spooked a whole lot less deer. Bottom line, anything you can do to make yourself invisible, the better. I know a bunch on here doesn't like to hear this, but you can't argue with it.

I've shot deer with and without a dip in. If your really worried just brush your teeth like your suppose to before you go out into the woods and toss one in then use a spitter.

Well, are you a man or not? Was you able to kick it?

I dip and spit on the ground. Never an adverse effect. But I have had some younger deer come to the area I spit in to investigate. Directly below me.

The only times that I know I was busted while chewing, was the movement involved. I usually take a bottle if I chew, but have been known to spit on the ground too.

never had deer (I see) react any different? Now there could be some I don't see because I chew on stand, who knows. I'm trying to quit anyway!

If I can't dip I won't hunt. I have killed several big bucks while dipping, I have the pics and mounts to prove it, with that said, I may also be spooking deer that I never see, oh well, I have beendipping 20 + years, I ain't quiting, I promise that....I may start spitting in a baba!!

I have never had a problem with deer smelling it but I did spook a coyote that took a wiff of the area i was spitting.If your going for a Trophy its not worth it.

Don't you guys know Tobacco isn't good for you??

Vabowman, How much you spend on dip a year?

J/K we all have bad habits that cost us. Some thinks Archery is mine![8D]

About the only time I chew tobacco is during hunting season...I don't do it alot because I don't want to get addicted to something that can make my mouth rot out, but I do occasionally chew some Levi Garret and have arrowed some deer with it in my mouth. Overall, I don't like to do it, but when I am tired and have been hunting all day, sometimes a nice chew will wake you up...just spit it into a bottle and close the top, no odor.
