I'm Going To Need Karl To Come up With That 290 Muley Sunscreen Bug Spray Combo

[highside74]

Lighting struck and I drew early Desert unit archery. I plan to take a number of trips over there between now and September 1. Not sure I'll be able to pass 160s like Karl but I'm going to give it heck. Luckily I have lots of vacation time and a flexible schedule. I'll do my best to keep everyone updated.

This will be important to keep in mind

Please keep up with Karl on naming all the bucks after gas station food.

Still probably not enough.... but an idea

[highside74]

I'm seriously thinking about trying my mesh turkey camo jacket. Should be cooler to wear and help with bugs.

The sitka equinox line is supposed to be light weight and bite proof. I bought the quarter zip hoody.  It most certainly IS NOT bite proof. Don't waste your money. Just accept the fact you will wear copious amounts of bug spray. That stuff will eat the snot out of your bow strings though so make sure your bow is clear of the over spray 😬

If you go against the guidelines and use permethrin while it’s still wet it will keep them away. They’ll literally fall over dead if they land on you.

Thermacell and a $5 mosquito head net from REI is my usual go to.

I heard if you bite the bullet and embrace it eventually you'll become immune. Get out there and do some scouting in yer skivvies, you'll be skeeter proof by the opener

Might get a little swampy but should keep the bugs away

[highside74]

Lol I wasn't expecting all this mosquito help when I started this thread. Haha. I should have known you guys would be eager to help.

I was just trying to figure out a funny way of saying I drew the same tag as Karl did.

I'll definitely be scouting a few times and already plan a 7-9 or so day hunt with as many extra 3 day weekends as I need to get the tag filled. I plan on hunting the 1st week and the last 4 days of the season and both 3 day weekends in between. 180 plus or bust...ish

Only a perfect few are immune to mosquitos!
The rest are just weenies!

I usually just bring my wife or kids along, mosquitos always go for them, must be something wrong with the way my blood tastes

There are bug spray/sunscreen combos out there. Have been for years. It’s nothing new. Good luck on your hunt.
