deep_waters Posted June 30, 2005 Posted June 30, 2005 I too have worried about sunscreen. I used to put on sunscreen via rub in method, lean over boat, wash my hands in the water, spray tons on fish scent on my hands, rub it in, and again wash in water. Then I would apply another dose of fish spray. Looked like a darn fool. Anyway, now I buy the sport spray on sunscreen that you don't have to rub in and it doesn't even get on your hands. Here's what I get http://www.coppertone.com/product.aspx?prodid=34 and I'm not a spokesman or anything! ;D However the kind I buy at Wally World is in a blue container. Quote
2_Poppa Posted July 2, 2005 Posted July 2, 2005 this is kind of off topic, but here goes. my dad said one time he was deer hunting on a ladder stand dipping snuff and spitting it under him. he said a deer came up and stuck its head through the steps of his ladder, smelling the spit. i've never tried it though. i smoke while i hunt, i smoke while i bow hunt and kill deer, it's all about the wind and not throwing them on the ground. i'd probably kill more deer if i didn't and i usually won't do it the first few times i hunt a spot. One of my biggest deer to date came when a 140 class buck came sneaking through the woods almost on his knees avoiding my buddys deer stand who seen the deer while he was smoking... Another time I witnessed what I thought was a doe walk up to my buddy sitting on the ground, rifle in hand smoking, walked all the way within spitting distance sniffing the air, and began to rub her head on the scope of his gun. Turns out it was a button buck rubbing his nubs on his scope. He only left after a couple of whiskers got singed. Why? The young buck still had his curiosity in tact... The big buck had encounterd smokers before and associated it with danger and was fleeing... Fish do not associate smoking with danger. 8) Neither do humans... : Quote

LunkerGuy Posted July 7, 2005 Posted July 7, 2005 I've had gasoline, oil, cigatettes, and sunscreen on my hands at one time or another. I don't see the big deal. Although, I try to avoid the gas and cigarettes at the same time..for obvious reasons! Quote
