Default Bug Repellant

First time bowhunter this year after a couple years gun hunting....and it occurred to me tonight that there's more bugs in fall than in November. Duh! Any advice on bug repellant? Do they even make something for this or do most just suffer through the bites? Besides a Thermacell - my money went into a bow this year, and that'll probably need to wait until next year - unless I win the lottery.

If you can find a scent-free bug repellent that would be good.normal bug spray has a non-earthly scent

I'd spend the money on the Thermocell. You may be able to catch one on clearance at Wal-Mart. It's worth every penny, you won't be sorry.

Whats a thermacell cost? $30 If it were me I'd try whatever to get a little extra cash. They are worth it.
