I have a thing that you can cough into and it suppresses your cough. It has a mouthpiece with a baffle filled with cotton balls. I forget the name of it, but it works pretty well. I have had it for a long time and don't remember where I ever got it. If I can find a name on it, I will let you know.

Cough drops and Vicks Vapor Rub for me and I keep windows of blind closed.

I've done it but I don't like to. If it's bad it is hard to control. Cough drops can help a little.

I use a grunt call

Lots of Halls cough drops and a small bottle of brandy, it will scratch that itch pretty well.

I cough into a rolled up shirt. I have had deer on my corn multiple times and they never paid attention when I coughed. I don't get to go often enough to stay home when I'm coughing.

This is what I use.

I saw something like this on TV hunting show many years ago, don't know what the name was either but seem to work.

Just put your forearm over your mouth.

Cough drops, cough into your coat, or use one of those cough mufflers.
I need to get one of those mufflers for my Dad

I had 2 hunting trips that were a complete bust this season due to coughing. all the cough drops and crown in the world didnt help. I hunt in creekbottoms in the hardwoods.....so every cough sounded like a MOAB going off.

It's amazing to me how I can leave camp coughing, but once in the stand or blind, the need to cough pretty much stops.
I have coughed(not a violent cough), with deer 90yds out and it didn't spook them. Of course they did look [emoji102] up and around!
