Chewing or Smoking in the woods
 

How does everyone feel about Chewing or Smoking in the woods. I personaly have shot a couple of deer that were sniffing old spit piles under my tree stand.

I've never had a problem chewing in the woods, now after my six year old sister sprayed my boots with lysol air freshener...thats a whole other story haha

its your choice i would say..just like chewing gum, sunflower seeds or anything else... although though i'm not a fan myself, its your personal perogative to support lung/gum cancer through consumption of tobacco products

to tell you the truth.i only see deer when i smoke and thats no joke.

Ive killed 2 with a smoke in my mouth at the time of the shot. I dont smoke in the woods anymore though, just dip now.

had 3 doe come under my ladder stand, actually brushing the ladder as they walked, they stopped to sniff the snuff spit, then walked out in front w/out a care in the world

I personally don't smoke or chew, but I would bet every penny in my pocket that there are people of here that smoke and/or chew on the deer stand and wear Scentlok clothing at the same time.

lol retrieverman...i also wizz right out of my tree...right into the bare spot i spit into. before climbing, i kick a patch of leaves away JUST to spit and wizz into. while im head to toe in scentlok.

ive had deer use a "mock scape" made by ME. not worried about urine.

and about chew spit, ive never had a problem with it. had a mature doe with fawns come in and eat DIRECTLY under my tree where i spit for a couple weeks every hunt...and countless deer within feet of it..

i really think deer are spooked by smells they associate with danger...when they start associating my chew spit with danger, i'll chew some fruity flavor or somethin lol...

the only reason i clear the leaves away is so i dont make noise...

just my thoughts on it...and yes, ive had mature PA bucks within bow range of my stand...

ive' had deer lick my dip spit under my treestand before.They seemed to enjoy it to.

Personally, I think all the scent stuff is a bit of a marketing ploy. I've never used it and have had deer within arms reach many times while hunting from the ground.

I did and pee in the woods as well. The only time I use a bottle is when I hunt from a blind with... um... not real accessable windows.

Deer spook to noise and movement in my opinion.
