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!planter wrote:Wabi Wabi Wabi!! brewing coffee and smoking cigars..I like it. My best shotgun deer came with a cigarette in my mouth and a salami samich in my lap.. Being lucky is OK.
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.

Better yet... just toss in a buck or moose bomb. Its like a stink grenade!!crazyfarmer wrote:people actaully still use fox pee![]()
I tried it when I was about 9 lol.. but the smell gets everywhere
only thing its good for is putting on a rag and placing in someone's truck under the seat that you dislike.. espically on a HOOOOTTT day

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.crazyfarmer wrote:people actaully still use fox pee![]()

BTW - I had stopped in a small ditchline and was smoking a cigarette when he came across the field trailing me.
