RE: Who smokes while they are hunting?
 

I have had many hunting buddies that puff cigars while hunting, never seems to bother the deer. I'd like to see a study, buy my guess would be that, as much as their noses are tuned to 'human scent', I'm not sure they can distinguish between 'human smoke' and all the other smoke out there from woodburning stoves, fireplaces, etc.

i also chew tobacco while in my stand. i use to smoke and would smoke in my stand. did i kill deer....yes....but not near as many as i do now when i'm smoke free.

Heard the swishers are the best? I don't think it's a good idea to smoke in the stand. I do know people that have been smoking and then killed a deer.

I quit this year (labor day) and have seen a few more deer than usual. Of course it may just be that I am not moving around as much digging out a smoke, lighting it, etc.

i dont smoke but my grandpa smokes Swisser Sweet cigars on deer drives and sometimes when hes sitting. he still has deer come to him.

RE: Who smokes while they are hunting?
 

I used to smoke back in the day before I quit. Yes, I killed deer while smoking. However, I did seem to see more when I didn't smoke. I pretty much do the scent-free ritual now.

The only time I smoke is after squeezing the trigger on my muzzleloader.

RE: Who smokes while they are hunting?
 

i used to smoke. One time i got busted. a deer saw the smoke and I lost the chance to shoot it

RE: Who smokes while they are hunting?
 

I dont smoke but I also dont think it is stupid for other people to smoke while they are hunting.
If it does scare away the big one that gives me a chance to shoot it.

For this I thank you Smokers. No I dont think its stupid
