I never have smoked in a deer blind, and I don’t think I’ll start. That being said, I strongly suspect it wouldn’t matter that much. In any event, this year I didn’t have much of a chance even if I wanted to, as I took a chunky fork horn at 7:30 am opening morning, and 1 is enough for me.
I did this year with son in law and a grand son . We are in ohio and do a controlled dive . I passed on an easy shot , so the boys would see deer . The doe saw me finally but I am sure she didn't smell the pipe
