Title: What type of insect repellant without "stinking it up" ?
Post by: troyspinetar on February 19, 2014, 06:51:15 AM: For early season I was wondering what y'all use that limits your stink trail.

Deep woods off or anything with a lot of deet. Hunt with the wind in you favor!

:yeah: normally i dont use anything at all, when we could bait bear, i would spray everything down with deep woods off, then when i went in to hunt i sprayed myself down with it, never any problems at all..... alder smoke works pretty good to, i just dont like the smell of my truck when it gets the alder smoke smell in it :tup:
