one word ; Thermacell !!

they are the best thing since sliced bread.I have used them each day since the season opened. " No skitters" .
The deer doesn' t seem to notice them.(I took one with the bow and two with B/P and had the cell on.one with B/P walked between the laddet and the tree,so I know he did pay attenion to it.and he came in to the horns from down wind.

get you one and the skitters will only be a memories. wal-mart has them here ay home. $19.95 and like $3.00 for a refill. well worth the $$$$$$
