I know Thermacells work...BUT
Has anyone killed a deer while using one? They seem to make a detour around me when mine is on. They don't act spooky and blow but they just seem to go out of the way around the normal travel path.

Some deer don't seem to mind from what I've read, but I've seen deer spook from it. Trick is if they smelt it they have most likely smelt something coming off of me at the same time (unless my gear & all was 100% free= impossible)

And the thing just plain works, no bugs after I turned it on. Friday my buddy said he got bitten up, but I had my thermacell on and didn't get bothered in the least.
