I have a SWEET new spot at my land. Very excited to go there the only problem is that the mosquitos are HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I mean they are BAD!!! It is by a bunch of old tires that were dumped on my land and they hold water so that is why i am guessing they are so bad. Is there anything i can do. Bug reppelent? Thermacell? what would you guys do? Please help.

The thermocell works great for mosquitoes, only I have one problem with it. This is my first year using it, and out of six hunts I experimented with it, the threee hunts I took the thermocell I saw two or less deer. The three I didn't take it I saw no less than four deer every hunt. Needless to say, I don't take it with me bowhunting anymore. Coincidence, I think not, but that is just my experience and opinion, and you know what they say about those!

Love the thermocell. I did get busted by a deer the one time I used it this season though. Got down wind and went nuts. I use the Fresh Earth Scent pads in it. Who knows, that deer would have probably busted me without the thermocell. It is the only time I was busted so far this year though. If the mosquitoes are bad it's well worth the risk to me though.

Greatest hunting investment!
The only time mine has "not worked" is if I am in my climber and a get a good breeze coming through. I have to move it to the other side of me so the breeze blows the stuff to me.
I am a proud United States Air Force NCO and I thank all of you for your support!!!
