Deep woods off or anything with a lot of deet.  Hunt with the wind in you favor!

One died for your soul; the other for your freedom.

:yeah: normally i dont use anything at all, when we could bait bear, i would spray everything down with deep woods off, then when i went in to hunt i sprayed myself down with it, never any problems at all..... alder smoke works pretty good to, i just dont like the smell of my truck when it gets the alder smoke smell in it  :tup:

Thermacell x2. I've also used the Unscented Coleman mosquito repellent and that works pretty well - from Sportsman's Warehouse.

i forgot all about my thermocell, i have two, i live by a huge swamp and the skeeters are the size of 747s, you can hear them coming from a few clicks off, well when you turn on the thermocell and it warms up, them little bastages run for cover, no clue why but they work awesome so who cares  :tup:probably find out that it gives you nut cancer in a few years but hey when your married and are the age of trophyhunt you dont need them anyways  :chuckle: :tup:
