I've had a 7 point eat a wad of snuff I had thrown on the ground. He walked off and I shot him. Got my snuff back!! It doesn't matter IMO

thanks everyone for the experiences on stand with the great thing they call chew... i think is will try both bottle and ground this year to see what i like the best. if i spook a deer spitting on the ground i will go to the bottle but if there is no spook i will for sure stay on the ground.

I am 29 and used skoal straight until May 20th of this year. I will let you know how my first season without it goes. I could not quit on my own so on that day when my little girl was born I told her she would never see me dip or smoke. You can't make the first thing you tell your only child a lie. I can guarantee that took care of the cravings that use to do me in. Good luck on quitting boys and as for the topic I do not think it spooks them but maybe on those evenings when they were not moving and they should have been.....Now I know why.

i have tried several times to quit i can go maybe 5-6 day and then i have to have some i dont know what it is i just like it...both my parents smoke and my brother chews and smokes. i used to smoke (still do every-once and a whil but mostly chew. but hey 360 i just got my wisdom teeth out today and that prevents me from doing either smoke or chew for at least a week so maybe that will help (cross your fingers)
