My son and I are new to bow hunting and we were out scouting around Sunday afternoon and started to get eaten up by mosquitoes. We started to wonder what do you do for bug repellant while bow hunting and still manage your scent. Do you use regular bug spray or is there something else you can do?

Thermacell

I think these guys are on to something....but doesn't thermacelll emit a scent as well? I do not recall them advertising their products to be scent free.

The last thing I want to do to my fart suit (scentblocker gear, head to toe) is to spray OFF all over it..

Do they work on ticks?

If you're worried about scent you can buy bug wear clothing that mosquitoes can't bite through. It won't keep them away from you but it will keep them from biting you.

I have deer standing around, less than 20 yards, when I use my TCell.

For those that use TCell, where do you put it in relation to your stand? I have heard that it isn't good to hang it below you.

Between your feet is the best place. You need to be in the protection zone.

I've always set mine on the base of my treestand below my seat, never had any issues..

Pyrithrin spray at dicks or basspro in yellow can black top!!! Works great lasts up to 3 washes and works on chiggers also!!!!
