I usually hunt on my own land and I am in the woods year around, and smoke while there, cutting wood, fixing plots,clearing lanes etc.They don't seem bothered by the smoke, but come unglued if they come up on me while I am working. I've had does just step off the trail while I go by on my 4 wheeler.
A few years back, (less than ten) I connected on a 6 point because I was smoking. Watching a trail near a good rub and after being there over an hour I lit up. I turned at the sound of some dogs barking off at a distance. When I turned back, this six point was standing by the rub, watching the smoke curl up from my cigarett. As there was no wind.I froze, cig in hand. After a minute, which to me seemed like an hour,he looked back over his far shoulder to check his back trail. This gave me time to shoulder and aim. I fired just as he turned back. He folded in 20 yards.
