'scentless' Mosquito & Tick repellents for deerhunting ?

[Brow Tine]

Anyone use anything other than gloves and a face net? I keep seeing thoses Thermashell things but have never used one.
Anything that would be natural and not spook the deer.

Thanks

1972,
I picked up a therma cell last year and used it during early bow and it worked perfectly! The only problem I encountered was that the Therma cell uses a scent pad, when you initially ignite the device the pad will smoke for a few seconds and you can smell the smoke pretty good, however once the new burn disperses you have a scent free devise that really keeps the bugs off of you for up to 16 hours on a single butane cartridge and one scent pad. Did not get picked off by buck or doe while using it. Hope this helps.

bought me a thermacell 2yrs ago and i didnt see no effect from it. i tried changing the pads out and still nothing. maybe i got some defective pads, not sure. everybody i talk to says theirs works perfectly.

The thermacell is the best type of repellent that I have ever used and in Florida around the swamps you defintly need a good one . I have never had a problem with the deer smelling it either . Walmart also sells the butane catridges for portable hairdryers that will work in the thermacell and are cheaper than the thermacell brand cartriges .
