Eaten Alive...
« on: September 18, 2015, 07:25:48 PM »
Some big hatch must have happened this week because the skeeters were all over me. Any one have a way to get rid of mosquitos that doesn't have a super obtrusive smell that will scare away elk?

Bug spray actually is just something that prevents bugs from smelling you for what you are. So if you can use scent-a-way max or dead-down-wind or something similar and little to none estrus spray, you might have success.

Just one on my hip or attached to my day pack. Works wonders. Mosquitoes love me and I can stay out all day and not get bit.

Just spray your clothes with permethrin.   I do it in the back country and they never touch me.
