The area that I hunt is by a pond. Usually in the early part of the bow season when it's hot here in Oklahoma, I'll just walk over and get a little mud from the pond and rub it on the back of my hands. The skeeters are pretty bad in the early part of the season here and for some reason, the mud keeps 'em off my hands. I still wear a face net to keep the skeeters out of my ears though. Later on when it starts to get cooler, I wear gloves.
