Insect Repellant
« on: July 27, 2011, 09:35:58 PM »
This may be a stupid question, but will me dousing myself in bug spray scare off a bear?  When I went to check my trail cam today, I was covered in every kind of insect known to man (It's in a swampy area). Any advice?

if they smell the bug spray they will smell you so I wouldnt worry about it.  Just use the wind.

I am skeptical about the scent from thermacell. Do they keep bugs away? Sure do! But man those things do not smell right to me! Lord knows what an animal thinks. Espically the earth scented ones. :twocents:
