good mosquito repellent for hunting

[Shinesintx]

Didn't read the entire thread...did anyone suggest Thermacell?

[Bow in Hand]

Never had a problem with deer busting me with my thermacell. That thing is a life saver!

thermocell,, anywhere all the time

Thermocell, but Hunters Specialty used to make an Earth scent pump that worked great and smelled like fresh dirt...used it for years and never noticed it alarming any animals.

I still have some in my pack as backup

Same here! I have thermacell but keep the earth scent repellent in pack.

I tried mixing some essential oils (recipe I found on the internet) and it had a "lemon-like" smell. I thought it would be better than smelling like deet. Tried it at Aransas and grabbed the deet within 10 minutes of being out of the truck.....It worked ok at home but not down there at all. The Thermacell saved my ***** down there, but it does put off a smell too, just not as much as the deet sprays.

Deer will bust you using a thermocell.

Never happened to me and I've had them really close to me.

Oh and Thermacell.

[CaptRyan]

Has anyone suggested a thermacell yet?

[DS_1974]

I don't get it. Deer will bust you using a thermocell. I'm sticking with permanone on clothing and netting type face mask.

Enough said.

Been using a thermacell for 10 years and never had a deer bust me because of it.

Don't think it's been mentioned yet, so thermacell

I used some about 10 years ago. Maybe I got a bad batch. Mine smelled like someone put a handful of dirt in a gallon of deet.

Thermacell

I was gonna mention Thermacell but

[BigD1951]

In case you still haven't gotten the point yet, use a thermacell, if your worried about the smell use the earth scent pads.

Only problem is that thermacell only works when you are sitting still. If you hunt in a place like Sam Houston National Forest and have to walk far in they will eat you alive and you'd be like a mummified corpse by the time you get to your spot . I wear two masks that fully cover my head and neck sprayed with Sawyer Permethrin spray. One mask is the tight thin spandex and the other is the loose net type which I wear over the tight one. I also spray my boots and pants down with it to guard against ticks. The Permethrin spray does not seem to have any order after it dries. Permethrin is basically the same thing that is in the thermacell pads.
