Smoking While Deerhunting
This is my first time whitetail deer hunting. Can you smoke while dear hunting? I will be in a blind so the deer wont beable to see the motion in between puffs. What are your thoughts about it. (please dont write about i should quit smoking, that is not what im looking for) Thanks

I won't do it in a ground blind, but if you are 25-30' in a tree stand, it won't matter!

This comes up every year and there are somesay it makes no differanceand some say it scares away the deer. I don't smoke at all but if I am awake I have a big dip of Skoal in. I have seen deer smell around mypath and come on in and some sniff and go. I am out to enjoy my hunt and I can't do that if I am in a nicotine fit from not dipping. If it scares some away so be it but there will be some that pay no attention to the smoke.

I have also been told both ways. Me personaly I smoke while Ihunt at about 1 per hour. I have killed both does and bucks. I killed a doe last year and lit up within 15 minutes after killing it. A buck walked out in same field while im smoking and i took it also. So i have killed deer while smoking but im sure i have spooked some off i never saw.

RE: Smoking While Deerhunting
i agree with rebel hog..
i smoke up in the air and out ashes and butts in a container, that's taken out of woods.. deer rely on eyes, ears and nose.. so i figure they can scent that nasty smell on ground.. heat usually rises so the smoke goes up, unitl a down draft.. haven't you been outside of a building and smelled someone smoking aways from ya?.. keep that in mind.. |
