Man get a thermacell. Those things are a god send. Turn that babty on and you wont see a mosquito. Im not completely sold on the scent free claim but I have yet had a deer wind me, so until they do mine will be burning.

I don't know what a thermacell is ( I will check it out), but I use a bug suit. They are hot, but the misquitos can't bite you. It is the best investment I have ever had for hunting. You can see mine on this site under "My 2005 buck" It has leaves hanging off for extra camo. It was about $40 at bass pro for the top and $100 for the bottoms. I only have the top.

Shannon Bug Tamer Plus 3D Leaf. Cost what it cost. I hunt in the Big Cypress Preserve in South Florida. Mosquitos, biting flys, spiders the size of a childs hand, ants, you name it. Used to use Deet and get bit a lot. Got a cheapo bug suit from Bass Pro and it worked OK but still had to use bug spray and still got bit some. I haven't been bit in 2 years with the Bug Tamer suit, plus it is very good camo and has a scent control liner. Now I don't leave home without it.

Thermacell under $30.00. Best $30.00 you'll ever spend!!!

The best advice i could tell you would to go buy a Therma-cell. Like LA Swamper says I don't think it is scentfree, but it's damn close. You can smell a butane kinda smell when it's on. I've never had a deer smell it tho. Another thing I use is some bug spray called Maxi-Deet. It has low odor too. I've had deer all around me after spraying it on.
