so i went by dicks this afternoon and i wanted to get some bug spray..they had none left in the hunting section so i went over to the camping section. The only thing i saw that i could use was "OFF, deepwoods sportsman" and it said fragrence free. So i brought it home and sprayed it on me and the smell was not as strong but i could definitely still smell it. Wut do u think i should do? it probably isnt worth the risk...

I've always used the Scent Block stuff that has different scents like fresh earth, etc. I've seen plenty of deer with that stuff on. Personally you may want to check out a thermacell. It is the most effective thing I've found.

Since I'm largely covered up,I don't use much repellent. I use Muskol 100% DEET. I just dab a little around my ears and other places where they can get to me. I've never had a problem with deer smelling me.

Try to find some permanone. I got mine in the camping secion at wal-mart. Spray it on your clothing only. It smells when you put in on, but after waiting a couple of hours...it's odorless.
Thermacell works good too, but I like the double protection. They say...although I have not tested it yet, that the permanone will last through a couple of washes.
It's getting a little cooler for us here in MD so hopefully it won't be an issue for long.
