Yeah it will scare deer for sure. If anything has a scent to it that is not natural to a deer there gonna think that something is up. But there are things that you can do, the thermal cell repellers claim to be scent free and i saw a bug spray made by scent sheild that was scent free.

Get a thermacell. If mosquitoes are a problem, you'll never know how you ever lived without one.

I just wish I had invented the Thermacell. Mine will be going full blast tomorrow and this weekend. With all the rain we have had down here in Aug. and Sep., the mosquitoes are horrible.

Yes - because if they smell the off, they can smell you.

repel parmonone has almost no scent at all and will keep all bugs away. no ticks chiggers or anything!!!!! You spray it on your cloths let it dry and your ready. I hunt in an area that has deer ticks so bad i cant walk from the truck to my camper without being covered so i can say parmonone is pretty affective

Default Yep, they'll smell the spray

Yep they'll smell the spray, however they might like it and be curious.

You need to try it out cause the new age deers aint like they used to be.

If it don't work then try them new kind of replents
