Anybody else besides me like to put a pinch in, in the stand?

I know alot of people who are against it, but its never hurt me. I've seen them with one in, and i've killed with one in. Besides, the smell of wintergreen won't bother them, will it?
You don't know if it hurts you or not. Its the big boy that smelled you and skirted you that you need to worry about.

I used to dip, and smarten up after 20 years of doing it. And I can say without a doubt, I see more mature bucks now than I did when I diped.
I'm guessing you might of learned a few more things also on how to hunt mature bucks. Whether It's related to not chewing anymore on stand, one will never know.
Excellent point. I used to hunt land that looked good and I had good shots. Now, my rule is only hunt recent sign. I might not have too many shots. It might be so thick, you can't drive a bull dozer thru it. It might be on a field edge.

I learned a bunch about animals smell and senses moose hunting. Moose are amazing creatures. I would be watching a cow and calf 200 yards away for 30 min completely camoflagued. And that wind would change thier way, and automatically looked right at us. I can't imagine a deer would have too much less of a sniffer.
