I have quite succesfully. It does not seem to bother the deer and I feel it may help cover my scent

Same here. I filled all my tags last year using regular Thermocell. Shot my all time best within 14 yards with the Thermocall going.

I have not gotten anything while using mine, but I have had deer within 15 yards of me, and they dont seem to even notice it.

I would not use it if I thought it would hurt my chances. I honestly belive it covers my scent and definetly chases off the skeeters.
