No, not the smell of my thermacell,....not yet anyway. I have had deer from 1-10 yards away from the tree I was sittin in while using it. BUT, they were all younger does and a couple yearling bucks. I can't speak much for last season, I didn't SEE a deer or a hog after the last week of bow season. Everything in my little area just vanished when thesmokepoles hit the woods.
You're right them suckers are skiddish!

BTW Dave, I had to hold off on the Tribute due to truck repairs.[:@]
