Hi all, My hill county lease has chiggers, if i don't spray down with mosquito spray it's an itchy mess. During off season it's no big deal, but I went out for the bow opener with nada and now am scratching.  Any suggestions on something to keep them away without leaving a huge scent trail? I figured bug sprays and sulfur powder are out. thx! You worry too much about smell. If your upwind from deer, they can smell you, so why worry about them smelling anything else? Stay downwind.

Funny none of the bug spray people haven't come up with an insect repellent with deer scent or a cover scent.
I knew this one woman hunter that used ground blinds and she sprayed all the surrounding scrubs with bug spray. When I saw her doing it I almost split my side laughing but she never had a bite. She probably killed the biggest deer, too. Meanwhile, all the smart guys who were wearing scent-lock clothes and using odor eliminating sprays all zeroed for the hunt, I bet!..... Thermacell came up with one "thermacell deer scent". It was brown and came with pads to pour deer scent on. I never used it for that but I bought a lot of the mosquito refills. Academy carried them and then discontinued them when they dropped the price to 8.88 I bought 5 of them.
Sometimes it's hard being me! But somebody has to do it.
