Here in Wisconsin we had lots of rain and the mosqitoes are fierce. What are you supposed to do to keep from being massacred while hunting or practicing short of looking like a muslim woman.

No doubt one of THEE best products I've ever purchased.

Cheap, Light weight, small/compact, versatile,scent free, and WORKS.

I'll never go in the woods, or on the lake without it.

I don't be;ieve that they are scent free, there is an odor that comes from it, but if you are in a treestand I don't think the deer will smell it. I still own and use one though. Getting bitten up sucks!!

My rule of thumb has always been, If you can smell so can the deer, but if they work go for it, im still thikning about getting a couple.
