Deb Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Do you use dip while you hunt? One of my hunting buddies does. See, I'm one of those 'anal scent control' freaks and he uses this menthol smelling 'stuff' that I can smell from 30 yards away. I can tell which stand that he has used recently. It's not body oder just the dip. I've really disappointed him this year by always having an excuse to not hunt that day. And being 300 yards away doesn't sit well with him. I guess I just need to be blunt with him and tell him, in my best Cheech and Chong voice, " you dip shtinks, mon". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Yeah, be blunt. Might want to add that little cancer thingy to the argument. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unioncountyslayer Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 I use to, but have since quit. I dipped "Straight", which didn't have a strong odor, but I couldn't sit on stand for 3-4 hours without it. I would put an open can of dip at the foot of my stand a few weeks before season so the deer could get use to the smell, and actually had a few deer come straight to it and smell and lick it. I'm sure they walked off and puked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowtech_archer07 Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Not me but I know people who do and it doesn't have any effect. I also know people who smoke on stand and have actually had to put a cigarette out in order to shoot a deer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkeygirl Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Yuck...that stuff is as bad or worse than smoking...mouth cancer, esophageal cancer, laryngeal cancer...etc...dip sets you all up for that...and boy oh boy some people won't realize until they have the cancer and no more voice. It's pretty gross to when people who "chew" spit it out somewhere, yuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevebeilgard Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 just be honest. tell him you don't want to hunt with him as your chances of seeing game goes down when he dips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fly Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Used to smoke back when I was in the army. Started chewing to quit smoking and finally quit that as well. I have found deer to be spooked the most by bacterial odor. Chew/dip can cause them to be alert. They may not run away, but they will be more cautious which could cost you an opportunity. I wouldn't hunt deer with someone who smoked or chewed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
