Ya i use to, but then i hit that point where u want that Monster buck so bad ull do anything, So even the littelist things i make sure im as scent free as i can make myself.

I have had many close encounter with deer while smokeing. Some while hunting some while fishing, mushroom hunting etc. I quit smoking six years ago but before that I always smoked and never had a problem. There is no doubt the deer can smell it but I think they smell enough smoke in their lives that they don't perceive it as a threat.

ok, u are probably not going to believe me, but what ever, i chew cop wintergreen, and i think the smell works more as a cover sent then anything, i have had a dip in with 9 does around me and they were calm as can be, and one time i had a doe come in and blow out(diwn wind, without a dip in), i was mad, so i put a dip in, the next thing i know i got 2 does and 1.5 8 point coming in on the same trail as the first doe, they didnt smell a thing, and they were down wind. idk, Just my oppinion.

was just dippin Grizz wintergreen the other day and i swear on everything i have that i actually watched a doe come up and lick the spot where i was spitting. it put all my doubts and worries about dipping in the tree to rest

I had a doe about 7yds out from my stand just tonight for nearly 20 minutes. I dip Skoal Vanilla and spit it straight down, she didn't bat an eye the entire time she was beneath me.

heck i been dippin grizz wintergreen everytime i put a dip in deer show up its insane but it works!!!!

grizz wintergreen's where it's at...just sayin haha. I take some moss from surrounding trees/rocks and place it at the base of the tree...nice little padding for it to land on. As for it effecting the deer, personally I don't think it does one bit, just my thoughts

I always chew when hunting and it hasn't seemed to affect my success.

Nicotine gum maybe?

Deer in my area don't mind the smell of cope wintergreen but they get real spookish when I'm dippin cope straight or long cut
