Default RE: anybody know of a good deer tick repellant ??

You can get it at walmart. Repel with permanone' s active ingredient is permethrin. The stuff works. Scouting for turkeys with long pants tucked into boots without even sitting down anywhere I pulled one tick out of my left cheek (the one that doesn' t get much sunshine) before I treated my clothes. After I treated them, I hunted hard for about 9 days throughout the season without having one lil bugger attaching itself. I walked through, hid in, sat on all kinds of likely tick infested places. I' m sold on the stuff. Also, I had a half dozen deer walk up to within about 25 yards while I was wearing the treated clothing. The wind was blowing the wrong way and I didn' t pay much attention to scent control since I was hunting turkeys, but considering those deer hung out somewhere between 5-10 min without me getting busted, it may just be okay to use the stuff while hunting deer too.
