I have been out several times scouting and the skeeters haven't been bad at all. I was shocked! I thought they would be terrible.
I would recommend the BUGTAMER JACKET though. One of the smartest things I ever done was buy one those. I bought some acorn scented bug repellent that is 100% deet but haven't even used it yet.
