Smoke ?

[buckeye_hunter]

Ranger,

I know what you men about the smell of a burning cigarette vs the old stale smell. I actually like the smell when a cigarette is first lit and I don't smoke. I have seen deer walk in to "investigate" while a family friend was hunting with a crossbow and smoking. More than once he had to put down his cigarette to shoot a deer.

Also, deer aren't afraid of the smell of smoke around here. I intentionally stand in the smoke of a fire for cover scent. It has always worked where deer are used to campfires. I learned that from some African hunters I saw on a video. They burnt elephant dung and stood in the smoke. Go figure?

I agree that cigarettes stink, but all odors dissipate over time. Or maybe my sniffer is broke......stabow
