Thermo cells

Chuck7 · 11-21-2007, 01:23 AM

Well,
My last trip out I was sprayed down good, and also kept a bottle of liquid repellent..THOSE darn things although they didn't bite were all over my clothes looking for a weak spot in the fabric..At 2:30AM this morning.

I drove to Wally and picked up the holster, thermo cell and extra assessories ..I'll try that baby out. I'll be putting it to the test in 2 hours..

Chuck,

I like my thermocell. I am also am thinking that the wearing the DET is not a good idea when deer hunting, I think that is part of the reason I did not see anything during archery season. The timesI have seen deer, I was not wearingDET. Next season I plan to use a bug suite and my thermocell, no DET.Thermocells work, but a few mesquetos will still bite. )-:

Good luck,
Chris

Hey,
Just got back from the GS...didn't shoot anything..but my place looks good. I did hear deer early high stepping through the swamp. I also saw a doe driving in .

The thermom cell is a winner..95% of the mosquitoes left me alone...I like the holster and how it holds the extra stuff.
Expensive but nice..I wasn't digging through pockets looking for the bug spray...I was more free to listen and watch. I shut it off at 8:00 AM...and the mosquitoes came back so I switched it back on..The only thing I hate about it...it makes to much noise turning it on..other than that..a great invention...I'm hooked.

Chuck,

I need to get the holster. Did you use it in the holster or did you lay it the bottom of your stand? I will take the click, click it takes to start it up any day. I think the noise of starting it is less likely to get you busted by deer than the if they smell DET. (-: That is great that you saw a doe and could hear deer close.

Cheers,
Chris

Chuck,

I need to get the holster. Did you use it in the holster or did you lay it the bottom of your stand? The holster is 9.97 at Wally..the unit fits snugly ..I have a hook in my tree. I simply hang the holster on the hook..the hook isabout 6 inches above my head. It hangs flat..The holster also hold one extrabutane filler and about 6 scent patches.I also tried hanging it on my stand at different places..6 incheabove my head was best...YOu can also see the mist to get a wind direction read..Wally was running low so I thought I'd better get one..especially since I fish at night too.I will take the click, click it takes to start it up any day. I think the noise of starting it is less likely to get you busted by deer than the if they smell DET. (-: Not only that..the click also sounds like an acorn that hit the ground..LOL That is great that you saw a doe and could hear deer close. Yes sir..when I got downI saw more rubs..on decent sized trees. I'm givin git a rest after today..there will be lots of hunters out tomorrow. I may fish Friday..

Cheers,
Chris
Take care Chris,
C7

I also have a Thermacell but have always used it laying flat. Can you actually hang it vertically?

hycohounds · 11-26-2007, 10:13 AM

the holster is kinda designed so that it will still lie flat even when its hooked to your belt. just loop it around the front and it will lay face up. same as hooking it on the side of your climber............tony

I use my thermo cell laying flat, upside down and standing up. It seems to work each way. I have it strapped to my backpack and turn it on in the morning before i head to my stand.

Don't do what I did last Sat afternoon..I clicked it on...and tens of mosquitoes were everywhere.. I heard the gas running and presumed it was on...

[X(][&:][:@]After 40 minutes...[&:],,,I remembered the directions saidto check the little round window to make sure it was buring...it wasn't.

..I clicked it again...she lit..and the mosqitoes left..[8D]Live and learn.

I love my Thermo Cell.....I have asthma and have attacks around perfumes , etc...BUT I was totally fine with the Therma Cell...kind of expensive but if you live in Florida..it's a must.
