RE: Scored a new hunting spot. What to do about ticks!!
About tick spray smell you have 2 choices:
1) Use the spray and hunt the wind so that if it does smell at least only the deer downwind smell you.
2) Don't use the spray and get eaten alive by ticks.
Choice #1 is ALWAYS the answer for me now after choosing #2 several times before. I still have tick bite scars on my ankles from moving stands last summer.
