I HATE skeeters and no-see-ums (those tiny biting gnats that seem to hang around elk); they can actually ruin a hunt. Ya, unless you want to be smelly with bug goop, really the only option is a long sleeved shirt (thick enough to thwart bites), light gloves, and a full head net (they'll still buzz around your head, messing with your hearing, but won't be able to bite). That sucks huge as its usually hot as heck in the archery season.... too hot for a heavier shirt, gloves, and a full head net. It's shaping up to be a bag bug season for sure, depending on where you hunt.
