7-18-09 Scouting

Well too hot too early where I was today. Saw a few deer (three were small bucks) sorry no pics.
Walked one old road grade out in the morning above a wash out no fresh sign on the way in .  On the way back found a fresh pile of crap and some small tracks in the middle of the road.
 Other than that glassed some pretty country in the heat and gave the thermacell a workout.

Nice pics. How well does the thermacell work? And how long does it last?

[stumprat]

The thermacell is more expensive than bug spray. But worth EVERY penny. Mine works great. It says a refill kit will last 12 hours but i'm getting about 10 or 11 out of it.
If you move around alot you might want to stick with sprays. But I predator call alot and use it in my stands for mosquitoes,black flys, and it seems to work good at driving the ants away which is a big plus. While big game hunting. I tend to sit and glass alot so for me the thermacell is a perfect fit. Not to mention I hate the feel of the sprays (oily)


Hope this is the info you were after.

That is exactly the info I am looking for. I do a lot of glassing up high during summer scouting and I might sit in one spot for a couple hours. The bugs get really bad at times as you know.
