I have used mine for many many yrs, and at times have deer 15-20 plus of them any where from 5-50 yrds DOWN wind of me and NO issue's
YES it has an order to them, but it seems to be one that doesn't effect game
I have a LOT of critters here and get all sorts of them to come close to me when I have used mine
rather risk, scaring a few critters than donating a pint of blood and swatting at them pesky bugs, way more movement than I wish to be doing while hunting!
your call, but I have no issue's with using and killing deer!

Never seen one deer spook due to the thermacell. I would bet money they smelled or saw you. I have gotten away with some crazy set ups even with the thermacell rolling like a freight train and the deer dead down wind.

You ain't kidding bud.
Little side note been gator hunting a few evenings/ nights after work and left my therm one evening, but I found a bottle of spray my wife had left in my truck it's the repel 25% deet dry. Normally I HATE sprays due to the oily crap that gets on everything, but this stuff doesn't suck and it did okay at keeping the skeeters at bay. I'm still not a fan of spraying deet on my skin, but it's better then being sucked dry and dying from blood loss!

An odd smell may spook a Deer, but IMO they smell odd stuff all the time, whether they associate it with danger is an iffy thing.
I occasionally sprinkle a bush with Nuc Mam when hog hunting. Nuc Mam really stinks, almost as bad as Skunk.
One of the best trophy Bucks I ever saw was sniffing a bush I'd sprinkled with Nuc Mam for Hogs.
