Nope never, we all know you have to wear scent lock, don't change into your hunting gear till you get ready to step into the woods, don't gargle with doe pee, sprinkle deer dander and use a cough tube to kill a big deer

Myles keller once said that he never shot a buck without a dip in.

Personally I would recommend that you just quit. Like someone said earlier the first and foremost thing that they do for a cancer of the tongue or throat is from partial to complete removal of the tongue and voice box. Now you can try just radiation and chemo. But they do not recommend it. If you opt for the radiation here is what you have to look forward to, beard falls out (burned out by radiation) and does not grow back, the blood vessels to the teeth shrink, ligaments in the jaws shrink, teeth go bad, jaw bones (lower) become weaker and shrink, tongue peels and looks like half rotted raw hamburger. You can not eat. You can barely swallow liquid, you drool all the time. Since you can not eat you get a wonderful tube placed in your stomach into which something that looks like infamil is pumped into. This thing hangs down about two feet, you have to put gauze patches around it with anti bacterial ointment, since it is not sewn into place it moves enough to cause it to rub and cause a sore and some minor bleeding. Above all the damn thing stinks, since the oder of what ever is in your digestive system seeps out. Be smart QUIT!!

Oh yeah I forgot to include a couple of more wonderful benefits of radiation therapy to the tongue and throat area. When your tongue finally begins to heal after radiation is completed you can look forward to a thick, stiff tongue. If you could whistle it will become very difficult, food will not taste the same as all of your taste buds have been ruined. You will have a dry mouth, cookies, cake, potato chips, will be difficult to eat as you have very Little saliva. Every where you go you will carry a bottle or go jug full of a liquid to sip every two or three minutes. Most carbonated beverages will burn like fire and taste bad. And that little flap that covers your bronchial tubes when you drink will have shrunk so that sometimes when you take a drink part of it goes down into your lungs and chokes you. This hurts like hell. And for the record I quit smoking and chewing more than 20 years before the cancer showed up.
Do as you wish but give these words some serious thought.

I chew Cope Black and the first thing I do when I get settled into my stand is put in a dip. Hasn't bothered anything yet. That you know of. No deer has ever smelled you? Anyone making that statement you know as well as I do are all wet. I'm just saying I have put the lid on my can so I could pick up my bow and/or gun to shoot a deer. It's the same with any other type of scent control hunt the wind and hunt high and stay clean

Hey, I just quit smoking January, and life goes on. Have not killed anyone yet, though there is a list I have compiled should I snap . . . :-)
Years ago I chewed on stand, and can't say I ever 'noticed' a difference. Can't prove it, and don't in any way claim it. Just that I didn't notice it if there was one. Best bet, be safe. Which means remain quiet, out of sight, and scent free.
In the end, what really matters is simply what matters to you.

I wouldn't spit on the ground if it was me, but I doubt very seriously that any deer knows to associate the danger of a human being with the scent of chewing tobacco. IMHO, your body odor ( which I believe is an absolutely disgusting odor to a deer) will be the first thing they will catch wind of, regardless of what other scents anything you have give off. Hunt the wind, in any case.

If you have a buck, downwind of you enough that he's smelling your chew, than surely he can smell your normal scent radiating from your arm pits and other sweat glands. Mail Pouch might attract 'em, but only if it's out in a field away from all the normal scent associated with a human body.
