Deer hunting with my cigars

[Ironworker]

I just got back from hunting and the outfitter was continually making comments about me smoking cigars and the deer smelling them and then running off before i could shoot.

I told the outfitter that I always smoke cigars while hunting. 2/3rds of the way through a bolivar belicoso I snagged this bad boy:

Congrats, really nice buck. Where were you hunting?

 

[NullSmurf]

well, so much for the deer running from the cigar smell theory! Nicy trophy!

They know a good cigar when they smell one.

I used to live in a very old hunting lodge, complete with a huge library, I remember reading a book printed many moons ago that encouraged smoking a pipe or a cigar while hunting to mask your scent, and intrigue the deer. I doubt a cigarette would work due to the overwhelming amount of chemicals.

Great deer! I was thinking about smoking while hunting a few weeks ago, but decided not to because of the scent. Comparing my results to yours........

I should have smoked.

When I was younger I went deer hunting with my dad's father in law a few times in Kentucky. He smoked Marlboros one after another the whole time we were in the woods. I remember thinking how that went against everything I had ever learned about hunting. Yet somehow he had managed to keep his freezer full of meat. I don't really think that it matters too much if you are rifle hunting and set up with the wind in your favor.

Very nice!

What did you shoot it with?

Love the tenderloins first!
