I smoke in the stand ..on the way to it...after...never bothered a deer
Hogs ...been busted a thousand times by smoking..but i still get em!
Always a dumb hog in a sounder...dont cover my scent either...read somewhere indians would use smoke to hide their scent...i just do it all the time..lol
All that being said....would like to quit.

Just become an expert at shooting game at 600 to 1000+ yards like so many folks seem to be now a days and you don't need to worry about scent.  But in all seriousness I do know hunters that smoke in the field and they seem to have success bagging a deer every year.

Well it seems that if it works for you than by all means do it. Again I don't smoke but if ever asked I know the answer to give. Thanks Guys for the knowledge.
There is no hunting like the hunting of man, and those who have hunted armed men long enough and liked it, never care for anything else thereafter.

In the bottoms of east TX you are only kidding yourself if you think you can play the wind on 90% of the days. It changes, it swirls, it does this and does that. Lather. Rinse. Repeat. Plus there is absolutely no telling which direction the deer will come from. Especially a mature buck.
Just the way it is. All the "hunt the wind" stuff is utterly useless. Now, out west spot and stalking - a completely different story. X2. Been busted by a buck that was 50 yds 90 degrees of the wind direction. Washed my clothes in all the scent free stuff and was careful how I packed and dressed myself. East tx can be very frustrating sitting in a tree. On the other hand, have a buddy that used to pack his clothes in a tote with a couple cow pies out of his pasture, no lie. Worked for him.
