Outbackbob48:
Hey eddie I believe they were havin some fun on you >:D Bob
leapingbare:
Wild onions.. yep your stink but the bugs don't like the smell of it :)
sailordad:
i just ignore them ;D
actually i hunt in a ground blind,if i need someting i used my thermacell ;)
i know its not primitive,but it is very very affective
doesnt seem to bother the deer either.ive had them walk right p past my blind(2-3yds)and never seen them get spooked
other wise catnip from what ive heard is supposed to work,just like the other plants/weeds
just rub it all over your self
sue every cat in the neighborhood is gonna wanna be your buddy,but that aint so bad is it ;D
Postman:
I use commercial stuff occasionally, but hoary mountain mint, A whitish (due to soft hairs all over) catnip relative, is a strong mint and works OK. I have a huge patch in my yard I crush up and rub as needed.
leapingbare:
Plantain. Brod leaf and lance leaf. Pick some leaves and rub them betwen your hands with some spit then rub the juice on your skin.
Plantain also works well for bug bites the juice will releve the sting and itch.
