Default Dip?

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 dip in the tree also but I swallow it and I dip cope. I think the sound of it fallen out of the tree may spook a deer or the containt motion of leaning up to spit would spook deer.

Because I'm a dipper. And I see no reason not to since I still see and shoot deer when I'mm dipping.

Thats my point. Anything you introduce to the enviroment that is not natural will potentially hurt you. I have a hunting buddy that swears that his scent doesn't affect his hunting. But twice now, I have killed deer who has skirted him and was looking in his direction when they ran into me.

You can get by with shooting spikes and immature deer with about any smell around. But a mature buck is a different story.

Play the wind. Deer will smell and avoid YOU before they ever smell the dip.
