What do you guys use to keep mosquitoes off you while you are hunting?

During the off season, I use "OFF" and during season I use "No Stinkin Bugs", the one with earth scent. I've heard a lot of good things about the Thermacell. I might get out and buy one of those. They say you can also use it to disperse your favorite deer scent.

Repellants are sometimes oily and sticky and feels quite uncomfortable. Since I started using the Thermacell, I've hardly ever had to use any repellant. These are incredible units and they work very well.

Everybody should be using OFF!, especially Deep Woods Off!. Just because I work for the company that makes it, it has nothing to do with it.

I don't use any. I find myself not being bothered much with mosquitoes maybe because I am at least 15 feet up in the tree and that I am covered with my pants, jacket, hat and camo mesh mask so there is little available room for them to come suck my blood.

I use no stinkin bugs during the off season. The stuff works great, but is a little expensive. Thermacell when hunting--you can't beat it.
