does anybody know of a good repellant for them if one exists , i went fishing this past sunday and found 2 of them on me , my stepfather only had 1 on him which is still too many [] , any info is very greatly appreciated

100% DEET works well. Although I don' t advise repeated applications of it on bear skin as it is a carcinogen so you should just apply it to your clothing.

VICKS (sp) works great for everything

Cat urine sure does the trick for us. Mix it with some water though.

thanks for the replies guys , i had heard of a product called permethrin , in another thread on this board ) , that is supposed to work pretty good , has any of you ever heard of where to get it

CatskillHuntr ,
cat pee , are you serious about that ??? or just pullin my leg ??

yes...cat piss. enzymes in the urine or something helps to repell ticks and bugs.

Here is a good idea that a friend showed me when I hunted in VA. When you get back to your truck or cabin, take a lint roller adn roll it over your clothing, it removed every tick that was crawling on me. It really works well.
Just a tip to help keep you healthy, Pat
