scent control/chewing tobacco

[vayotehowler]

Does any one chew while they are hunting , spit on the ground, I have taken my can of skoal berry and stuck it near my dog and he freaks out . Guess wind direction would have alot to play in whether would affectg a hunt. any experiences

Up until a few short years ago I always had a plug of Redman in mouth.  Never noticed it having any affect on calling in coyotes.

Until Nov. last year always....now I chew some mint snuff that doesn't have nicotine...  it's all in wind direction.

I have even smoked cigarettes while on stand and didn't notice any difference in the coyotes reaction. They still didn't come running.

Both my partner and I chew on stand and haven't thought much about it. Human smell is human stink. They smell ya, it's probably over.

Having said that, the biggest buck I ever shot was while drinking a beer, smoking a cigarette and eating a snickers bar. The wind was right so I got away with it. He wasn't much more than 50 yards away.

I don't think it helps, but don't see it hurting either.

I could lie and say I don't chew while hunting. But one look at the reeds on my hand calls would give me away.

Not any more, partner. You forgot I've been tobacco free since Dec. 28, 2009.  

I agree though I don't think it helps, but don't see it hurting either. Let the wind be your friend.

just wanted some feed back . my britanny will fight tooth and nail to get away from the smell of skoal. and that got me to wondering if i am spitting around me what effect would do on the wind.  For deer I always try to get the tarsal glands during the rut . and freezze them . the darker and stinkier the better. shot a deer with my bow and the other deer with it ran off. it was aplit trail and I chose the wrong one to trak but the 2nd deer was jsut up the trail and walked within 3 ft of it. took out my knife and was gonna stab it if got close but 3 ft was the limit, tie em to u boot and drag on way to stand and had em follow the trail i left. jsut a little tip. I GET GLANDS FROM THE GAME PROCESSOR

Problem I have w/ chew is it gets on my binos sometimes.
That & I have to switch the quid to the other cheek when I shoot left handed.

However the benefits out weigh those.
I like the flavor. Right now I'm on a Stroker's Tennessee Chew Moonshine Blend kick.
I enjoy spitting.
Keeps me from getting hungry so I hunt longer before going to a Sushi Bar.
Keeps my mouth moist. I tend to get dry mouth.
Keeps me from whistling. That's not good while hunting.
