I have always dipped while in stand..Do you or don't you?

I did up until I quit.

do it everytime just wish i never put that first one in

I used to until it burned a hole in my lip. Scared me so bad it made it easier to quit. That stuff is bad.

I quit 6 months ago but yes I did dip all the time in the stand and no it does not hurt your hunting.

Before I quit, I did everything with a dip of Hagen!!! Two can a day habit for me...

I completely understand..Hopefully someday I can kick this crappy habit..Just wondering if people thought it affected what they could see in the woods..

I've literally spit on some deer through the bottom gaps of my climber. They would make a cpl of hops and look around.

hahahaha funny stuff right there!!!!!^^^^^^^

my google search for copenhagen just led to a suggested search of tobacco which went to mouth cancer.... i may throw up....

I think everyone would quit if they could have seen a coworker of mine after his first operation due to chewing and dipping. He was a horrible thing to look at and he knew it. He worked about 6 months before his 1st reconstruction surgery and made sure everyone knew what caused it and that they had a very good look at what could happen. He had 2 different surgerys when I retired and needed at least 2 more. We all think we are indestructable when we are 25-30 but by the time we reach 50+ we suddenly realized we are not but it is too late and we can't undo what has happened.

If I'm awake I'm dipping! Unless I'm sleeping in my stand there's a dip in my mouth!

^^^^^ not good amigo, been off the snuff for 3 months.

i have been doing it for 8 years its a bad habit

Yep, when go I've got one in. Been doing it for at least 10 years and wished I had never started. Quit last year for 61 days and the 61st day was as hard as the first. 21 days to make a habit and 21 days to break a habit didn't work for me.

I may be wrong but since everything seems to cause cancer these days I always keep the "everything in moderation" mantra in mind. If you dip every second of every day, yes, I'm sure your odds of having an issue are much greater but a dip every once in a while wouldn't be terrible I wouldn't think. No more than ice cream and greasy cheeseburgers anyway.

Hate to see this thread has turned into a anti-dipping conversation..I was just curious if anyone thought that it had a negative effect on their hunt...But by no means get me wrong..I would quit in a heartbeat if I could..I have dipped since I was a kid and although I only go through a can ever 3 or 4 days..I can't function without it..

I've got a dip in my mouth in the pic with me and my buck from last season in my sig. line. I don't think it matters.

On a side note, who likes the copenhagen wintergreen? I used to switch between it and the long cut, but now its my go to.

it has never affected my hunting, i dip grizzly long cut natural flavor

i just say no...........

Try to keep as many smells out of the woods as you can, but I have had a dip in everytime to the stand and it has not seemed to affect my hunting. I would recommend not spitting though. I don't think that that would even scare deer off completely, but it lets them know that someone is around.

I dip in the stand, tried to quit several times just haven't been able to yet. I will one of these days I hope..Tough habit to stop for me.

to answer the question, i've shot deer with and without a chew.
got to admit, horrible habit, and the wife hates it, but

IT TASTE SOOO GOOOD

phewit....ding

I always dip in the stand and have had no problems with spooking deer, I feel it helps me just like I couldnt throw or hit a baseball correctly if I didn't have one in haha! But I would love to quit but when I get it for free it makes it way to hard. Just got 12 free rolls this weekend so...........on and on we go.

On, aug 2nd of this year will be the 6mo mark of me quiting. I have always dipped in the stand and this year will be very interesting to me on weather or not i can sit there for several hrs without dipping, but i never even carried a bottle w/ me to spit in, or pee in. I have had deer walk up and smell where ive pissed and spit but never had it spook one.
