Yep , sounds crazy . Anything less than 30 is insane .Didn't anyone
tell you that deer can jump 25 feet and that they are poisonous ?
Just kidding ( they're not really poisonous )
I do the same and have noticed that they don't really care much about
smoke , being used to smelling brush fires and such in the fall . I
smoke a pipe in the stand as well and have killed deer with a pipe in
my mouth several times . This isn't intentional , they just show up
when I have it in my teeth and I don't want to move and take the pipe
out for fear of spooking the beast . It usually goes out while I wait
for the shot , and then I get ash all over my face from the recoil .
Some of my friends dance around in the campfire smoke to cover their
scent on over night hunting trips , but that's not a good comparison
because they usually don't kill anything anyway , and smoke won't
cover the smell if stale beer , which isn't a natural smell , uh ,
except in Davie county .

Have any of you done so? I try to get my clothes smoky smelling because it
masks scent so well, and it doesn't bother the deer. However, I try not to
smoke while hunting.

mask , gloves , the whole nine yards . I can get up out of bed all
smelling bad with latakia breath and everything and go straight to the
stand with no worries . If you don't have one I can recommend them
highly .

waiting in the quiet darkness for the sun to come up while smoking my pipe in
the quiet darkness.
The crazy thing is the last three years I have had deer come up on me downwind
of me while I was smoking a vanillia cvs tobacco. I mentioned this to my
hunting partners and they said deer are indeed attracted to vanilla sent and in
fact its illegal to use extract of vanilla as an attractant in Tennessee. Of
course no law mentions pipe smoke.
So what is going on here. Am I on to something. Has anyone else ever heard of
this.

After reading all these posts in this thread, I was wondering, do
people still go out hunting without science backing them up? Growing
up, we shot with scopeless .30-.30's and wore levi jackets and seemed
to do well enough for a poor family to get a year's worth of meat.

As far as I'm concerned, the cover scents, scent absorbing clothing, etc. is
just
something to seperate people from their money. :-) A scope helps when your
eyes
aren't as good as they once were, but that's about my only concession to
moderninity.
Much more important to know which way the wind is blowing. :-) A lit pipe
makes
a dandy wind detector. :-)
Knowing the area, more or less, hunting into the wind, and knowing how to
move relatively quietly will bag more deer than "science" ever can. A little
pre-
season scouting to see where the deer are at what time of the day makes the
hunt much easier as well.
On more than one occasion I've walked treerows and come within stone
throwing distance of deer. Moderately breezy days are really good, as the
wind masks the noise of you moving. If you walk slow and stay alert, you'll
get the jump on them often as not. :-)

cigarettes and fill most of their tags on most years (we get several tags in
NY). One hunts in the air and one on the ground. Most consistent hunters
I've ever met.
I did notice that, last year while doing some pre-season scouting, a nice
buck came pretty close to the ground blind I was in while I was smoking a
cigar. And I was upwind of him!
I make a few concessions with some anti-scent stuff during season and only
smoke after I've gotten a deer or at lunch time. It seems obvious to me
though that this is more for my own peace of mind than anything else. I
guess I just try to concentrate on not having too much human smell blasting
out, that seems to be the real trigger.
Whatever. I've been getting deer every year lately and plan on taking my
pipe into the tree with me this year. Now, if I could just decide what to
smoke in it........maybe some Escudo.......hmmmm.......

doubt that deer would be drawn by vaniller flavored baccy but I wonder about
anise or licorice flavored tobacco because I've heard they are attracted to
that too. One of dads friends, an old poacher use to drench himself with Brute
after shave like he was disco-boy going to his first dance and he would swear
that the deer would come looking for him (he smelled s-o-o-o-o good)! That ole
feller even claimed deer liked his cigarette smoke, guess it made them curious
and they would want a look-see. He even had a fawn lay down beside him while he
was smoking a cig. One of Lloyd's best hunting skills, besides blind luck was
he could sit still for long periods and not move. Funny thing about the old
coot that no one would see hide or hair of Mr. Buck but wherever he was he saw
herds of deer with antlers out to here! LOL. Then at night he would jump up and
say "Boys! The moon's full, them deer's er a walken!" Wish I would have tried
flavored tobacco when I had my dad to hunt with. We had some good times camping
and deer hunting in the woods and mountains. Lost him a year ago June, a very
bad head-on collision with a young girl that either fell asleep after pulling a
double shift at the hospital or she was talking on the phone and crossed the
centerline. He was pulling his camper from our deer camp spot at his brother's
cabin. He was helping out at the church camp in Wilburton, OK where he was a
night guard. BTW Dad was a church deacon and yesterday the 23rd would have been
his 69th birthday. But, I keep his old pipes warm, DR. G's and a Yello Bowl.

I just took the scope off my .243 and am going back to open sites this
year. It gets a little cold in ND during rifle season for levi jackets
though.
This is the first year that I'll take a pipe with me hunting--Any
suggestions for tobac.?

ours were lined. But you got us beat by about 5 degrees latitude. I
remember our weather being a little below freezing, but I reckon that
it gets a lot colder in ND.

Do you use a compound or a traditional bow? It sounds like you are 80% there
now.

try shooting with it. I strung it and set it down and turned my back. He
picked it up and pulled back the string. I heard the crack and turned to
look back at him, he just stared at me with his jaw down to his belt.
It was over 60 years old.
I have to take it to be looked at one of these days. Maybe someon can fix
it. (Big sigh)
