Hunting and mosquitos.

[Deafishunter]

The last 2 sits I’ve been getting eaten alive by them, and just can’t stay still. Using a tiny bit of the mosquito spray helps for about 10 mins but it has a strong smell to it.

Just curious on how ya’ll deal with them while bow hunting?

Thermocell is your friend !!

Thermocell

Thermocell and sometimes I wear my 3d leaf bug suit.

Put on clothes and hat and let dry. Odorless. Repels ticks too.

Thermocell works good in enclosed blinds and decent on calm days in open blinds but I have one spot where I'm surrounded by standing water and they get THICK... occasionally I'll tough it out and wear a hoodie/ big jacket and a face mask to keep them off and just sweat it out. After doing this a few times though I normally get ran off and wait for a windy day or cooler weather. I think it's vanilla extract or Avon skin so soft that'll work good for repelling the gnats but does add an odor in hunting situations.

Thermacell. Bring extra butane and scent pads with you.

Thermacell and it doesn't bother my deer at all.

[Deafishunter]

Okay, thanks everyone.

Using thermocell last night & had a young 8 point 10 ft from the bottom of my ladder stand. Skeeters were bad until I turned it on.

Make your own permethrin and pre-treat your gear.

DO NOT let your pets near it while it dries, after it dries your good to go.
