Default Thermacell your opinions

I recently just picked up a thermacell a couple of weeks ago for early season bowhunting. Just wondering everyone's experiences with them good or bad.

THANKS!!!

When we were in Canda last year the black flies and mosquitos were terrible. A guy in our camp had brought one and he would set it just outside the camp door in the evenings, etc and it did a decent job but it certainly wasn't the miracle worker they tell you it is. I still got bit A LOT but it was less than without it.

Works really well at repelling mosquitos but it does have a slight odor, not sure if this repels deer as well. Young stupid ones may not notice it but I'll bet the older wiser bucks may be alarmed and avoid you. You'll never know cuz you won't see them.

I won't go in the early season woods without mine. I have bought my wife one for around the house. Greatest thing since sliced bread.

I think Dukemichaels said it best when he said (and I paraphrase)...

"I" can smell it.....so I KNOW the deer can.

That was enough, for me.

Yes but does it alarm them? A wise old buck, probably. But the alternative is swat mosquitos and move a lot or not hunt! I'd use it early when you need it and not expect to see any large old bucks, maybe take a young doe early.
