I've heard hanging your clothes in a horse barn or a goat barn, works great. Especially goat, the smell is so close to deer they can't tell there is a difference. I keep meening to try it but haven't got around to it.

Where I hunt is rural, but there is a small subdivision on the southeast border of the farm. The deer pay very little attention to noise or odors unless it's close to them. That's the variable - every deer seems to have it's own comfort zone. I've seen them run from a whiff of human odor at 200 yards, and I've had one watch me climb up in my ladder stand from 50 yards, then the same buck was feeding on acorns between the ladder & tree 15 minutes later totally oblivious to the fresh scent trail to the ladder and the fact I was perched 15' above it!
I have actually shot several while I was smoking. I think the movement involved is more likely to spook a deer than the tobacco smoke odor, at least where I hunt.

The biggest buck I have ever seen in the wild was trailing me like a dog when I had fox pee sprayed on my boots! I didn't get an exact point count when I saw him, but another hunter told me counted 26 points through binoculars a few days later, non-typical that would have been a "book" buck for sure, and I had him at under 20 yards. The broadhead cut a small (un-noticed) limb between us in half and the arrow went just under his brisket. :oops: :shock: :roll:
BTW - I had stopped in a small ditchline and was smoking a cigarette when he came across the field trailing me. :wink: :lol: :lol: :lol:
