I just like my sea to summit bug jacket with the mitts. No more missed spots the skeeters find and drive you from the woods and it doesn't stink unless you make stink.





Just make it sized to fit over what you wear hunting. You can put a blaze vest under it and bee seen or over it.

If the deer can smell the Thermacell, he is downwind and can smell you, too.

That was my first thought as well.

o k guys I appreciate the comments BUT I have hunted same spot for 8 years downwind side of a food plot---only once was winded by deer over the 8 years---when I said I had blowing I mean out to almost 300 yards was ridiculas !

well, like they say, ALL deer are different to what they will or WON"T tolerate?
I have never had any issue's in 5-6 states I used mine in, but HEY anything is possible

as for bug suits, I have owned a bunch, I will SWEAR by the Bug Tamer PLUS
worth every penny and then some
I worn mine in swamps where you would have NO lie, 200-500 on you at a time and NEVER get bite once, and be in there for 8+ hrs working
can wear them in summer time and NO shirt on under them to stay cool too, and NOT get bite
I honestly WISH they made them in white or light blue, as summer time can be nasty HOT in a DARK camo colored jacket/pants

BEST darn bug suit made period!

Nuc Mam, fermented chicken egg? In pepper sauce?
My wife laughs at the guys spraying down with scent killers. She gets up and puts on her make up, does her hair and sprays it, then puts on her cologne.

Nuc Mam is liquefied fish, either the oil or the whole creamed fish, fermented and vinegar added. Usually with some spices. Smells like a fishing pier only stronger. It gets stronger with age.

I mainly use it in an area where the hogs are crossing, they often stop or slow down to check out where that wonderful aroma is coming from. One place I hunt Hogs has fishermen, fish guts are something they find hard to ignore, free proteen.

Hogs often travel from bed to food in a general direction and often don't stick to the trails.

Hard to say what will spook a Deer, man scent most always to some degree, they've been hunted by man forever, likely genetic memory. But they can get used to anything over time. Except maybe jumping out in front of headlights, that one seems beyond most of them to adapt to.

Joggers and mountain bikers seem to spook the heck out of them, tractors not so much. There is likely some reason for their behavior. I'm not a Deer, darned if I know for sure.

Are you saying the deer are spooking at 300 yards? I think that anything they smelled from 300 yards away would not spook them. They would be curious as to where it was coming from, but they can't run away every time they are within 300 yards of a curious smell.

I use the earth scent wafers in my Thermicell and it works for me. Great invention!!!
