Turns out, that every smite buff off of the neutral monsters will only ever be triggered once per spawn. All of them.
Anyone up for warding the opponent's red buff, smiting the heal away but not killing it, and just watching as the enemy comes and expects their smite to heal them and keep them from dying, only to die and rage and rage some more at the "bug?"
Total waste of a 75 second CD, but hell if it wouldn't be funny.

SmknWdl1 votesAs a jungle main i will now make every effort to smite the enemy gromp/krugs/red buff, especially in first clear.
Levyathyn4 votesFunny? That's actually a pretty sound strategy for an early invade, depending on the champions involved.
NorthernDruid2 votesfor bonus points: sneak in and take their red after they get excecuted
PapaShongo531 votesI've been doing things like that since the pre season. I found it best to do it as an added bonus and not as a dedicated strategy. Pretty much if there is a fight in the jungle or I'm just wondering around and am going to back without enough time to clear the camp, I smite their Raptor or Wolf before I recall just to take the buff.
Bears Dont Care1 votesI always smite their red after clearing krugs. Its sound strat
Dominnion1 votesI've been considering taking smite on top of mid for awhile, because rangers trailblazer and the new juggernaut are actually really good. Plus double dragon smite power, and yes, stealing buffs. When I go home I think I'll try this on top lane malphite (teleport is good though, idk gotta test)
rinsujo1 votesIs THAT why i didn't get raptor buff. Interesting. Filed away for potentially useful information when poacher's gets reworked.
FistOfSharkiesha1 votesRaptor buff is the only one this happens pretty often on. Smiting it before a gank rather than fighting it and getting half your health chunked is a good option.
