MOSQUITOES!!!

burchett.donald:
    Went in this morning before daylight for my first time this season. Been hunting for 30+ years and don't believe I've every seen mosquitoes this bad! They were actually so bad they were making it hard to hear anything else but the high pitch buzz they make. Had 2 deer around 40yds finally work their way down wind after a few minutes and looked like they cut a cartwheel when they smelled all the 100% deet! I want to say I won't hunt anymore till it frosts but that would be a lie. My nephew said he didn't have a problem because he used a Thermocell? I will own one tomarrow. Today I was owned by MOSQUITOES...

Adam:
I was very skeptical of Thermacells, but finally got curious and gave one a shot.  Let me tell you, it saved my turkey season.  I have a hard enough time sitting still normally, and I certainly can't with mosquitoes swarming me.  Good luck on the rest of your season!

mullet:
Mosquitos?? What's that? ;D ;) Whoever invented the Thermocell should have won the Nobel Peace Prize.

Cameroo:
I bought one after battling mosquitoes one evening on a hunt a couple years ago, but I've never had to use it since.  Do they work well even if there is a breeze around you?

sonny:
Funny story about damn mosquitoes-
a couple of seasons ago I went to a ladder stand and my buddy took his climbing stand to a spot a hundred yards or so
away. The damn mosquitoes were so bad at one point that I just closed my eyes instead of watching the swarm in front
of my face. At dark when I got back to my truck I asked my buddy if they had gotten after him. His response was that
at one point he had considered tying his pull rope around his neck and jumping out of his stand but he feared that it
wouldn't work and that he'd be hanging there with mosquitoes still biting him   :D
