I heard that if take a dryer sheet ( the white sheets you put in with your laundry) and tie it somewhere on you ( back of your hat perhaps) that this will keep any flying creature away. Now obviously you would not do this come hunting season ( gonna leave a huge sent) but just in the yard, cutting grass, shooting your bow, whatever. Now go and look at my first sentence ...... I heard.... haven't tried it myself but wil this weekend and report back
