Well 1st off the stand were were in was a box stand on the ground not 30 feet in the air, 2nd there was no lost friendship there just friendly bickering and trying to prove each other wrong so I do not see why I need to apologies/worry about losing my buddy, hell we went back and had some beers and 3rd I do not like someone filling up my stand with that smell because I just don't like it so even now that I know it is ok he still wont be smoking while in a stand with me.

RE: Smokeing
 

So.....why are you two sharing a stand? In 45+ years of hunting I have never shared a stand with anybody except my 9 year old granddaughter when she goes with me.

Read the origional post... he's a first timer

RE: Smokeing
 

I missed that, sorry but I had to ask.

RE: Smokeing
 

No problem, I am always trying to get friends involved in hunting, haven't had one that has gone with me and not enjoyed it, usually that's all it takes and they are hooked. Only problem is I have giving up quite a few good deer to a first timer so that they would get the full experience.

RE: Smokeing
 

If I carried a guest and he lit up in the same stand I was in I would have said, "Well hunt is over, hope you enjoyed it". He would have never been invited again.

I got a nice 6 pt. a few years ago because I was smoking. Sitting in a ladder stand, and heard some dogs raising cane at a distance I turned to look behind me. When I turned back this 6 point was watching the smoke curl up from my smoke. I froze for a few minutes until he checked his backtrail. When he turned his head I got the sights on him and shot as he turned back. Sixty foot shot, he went 30 yds. Took out both lungs. I spend at least 3 days a week in my timber, enjoy the outdoors.

I don't smoke while bow hunting but I do while gun hunting. I have shot many deer while gun hunting. But I havent shot one bowhunting yet (but this is my first year bowhunting).

this always comes up same with whizzing out of the stand . IMHO if you want to do it do if you don't want to do then don't
