I guess this is more of a question as well, but I have seen that Thermocell product out there for mosquitos. supposed to be scent free and good for deer hunting. Anyone use one? Does it work?
I use a camo bug suit, its like a screen so you get some air when its hot out, but its hard to cover completely up when you are bow hunting and use a peep sight.

I got the bug suit from Cabelas. It was around 40 bucks for the top and bottom. I returned the first one I bought because it was too small. You have to make sure its big enough so that its not sitting flat against your skin, otherwise the buggers can just bite right through. Once I rectified that problem, I was very happy with it.

Kentucky. I swear they are attracted to me. Its not that much of a problem when its cold but early bow season is the best time to hunt for me, being a student, and they can be vicous. I actually had to leave a hunt last September while I was getting good deer activity because I couldn't take it anymore. I had on long sleeves and gloves in hot weather but you just cant cover everything enough. They were even biting me through my pants and shirt.

I appreciate it, you too. You should give bow hunting a try. I didn't put much stock into it until I was given one as a gift and now I would rather bow hunt than anything else. Nothing like being 30 yards from a buck that knows something fishy is goin on.
