Kind of tells a few fellas who seem to think that scent don't seem to matter. If a hog is going to wind you, a deer sure the heck would. I would never use bug spray to deer hunt. I have also cut a scouting trip very short a month ago. It had been very wet, more skeeters than I have ever saw. I hightaild it right back out of there. Two layers of clothes,gloves, and a good head covering usually keeps them off me on the stand.
