Smoke’em if ya got’em!

After smoking them in the tent and re-feeding the bee smoker 3 times, I wasn't really happy about how weak the smoke scent was on my clothes. It may have been due to my tent windows just had little tabs to hold it up so the smoke escaped easily. I did get blown at this weekend but I was wearing a rain suit that wasn't smoked and I had scouted in it all day. So I can't say that the smoke didn't work. Just figured I'd update and I'll be re-smoking directly with my bee smoker like I've done in the past when I get time.
 
What kinda success are you having with smoking? I tried it a few years ago and was getting busted or just not seeing as many deer. I switched to a semi-strict scentlok routine, and have killed/seen the biggest bucks of my life. I'm not the biggest fan of scentlok clothing design, so considering trying smoking again. I never smoked it in a compartment, maybe that where I went wrong.

I had a doe blow at me the other day. 1st time since I started smoking. I just feel the smoke shack didn’t hold the smoke in good enough. My clothes were not as smoke strong as puffing the bee smoker up the sleeves an inside the body or legs. Or maybe it just doesn’t work. But I still feel it works better than nothing. And believe in it enough to keep smoking. Just a stronger dose next time.
 
I also hung my gear by the bonfire a couple days before the seasoned open, I can't tell if it worked or not, but I haven't spooked any from scent
 
They actually stay away from the plants. The plastic covering the rows freaks them out.
So you're claiming the deer stay away from the plants...but they're freaked out? Something doesn't quite add up.
