RE: Mosquito protection
I finally used the "No Stinkin Bugs" and it worked fairly well on the mosquitos. I had a few, though. I sprayed it directly on my face. I'll have to try the whole mask deal, though. I didn't, however, see any deer. Coincidence? Could be. I believe there were a few milling around before any light(I heard a few up and down wind of me), but come light enough to see my hand in front of my face, and they were gone. Maybe I'll try the Repel brand and see if that spooks 'em.
