BUGS are eating me alive while hunting... I need help.
 
These stupid Mosquitos down here in Louisiana are biting the hell out of me when I go hunting... it doesn't matter if it is morning or evening. I sprayed on some Deep Woods Off and they were still biting me. I just can't sit still in a stand while they are all over me trying to bite me. The past 2 times I have been hunting I haven't seen a single deer and I think it is because I am too buzy swatting mosquitos.

Get yourself a bug suit .
When 25% DEET won't drive them away a bug suit is about the last resort .

I recommend the BugTamer suit. I use it in GA and it stops those mosquitos. It pricey, but it works.

This really works, check it out on the web. take a 1200 mg Garlic vitamin. bugs don't like it, the plus is it is also good to keep your arteries clear and garlic is a natural smell so it helps mask your scent.

I remember a past post were someone said that the Repel Permanone spray works really well. So I went to wal-mart and bought me some. I will try it before I spend like $200 on a bug suit.

I forgot to add that I was using coon urine as a cover scent... I think that the coon urine probably attracted the mosquitoes. But the permanone spray is supposed to kill them when they land on you.

i use the spray" no stinkin bugs". it works great.buddy in alaska uses it also and it had really helped eliminate the bug problem.another buddy went to the jungles and used it. said it worked great. better than carrying the thermacell around with you.

Get a thermacell. These things are the absolute best at repelling mosquitos with little to no odor. I turn mine on before I leave the truck and set it on my stand. 4 hrs without a single mosquito buzzing around. Anyone whos tried these can tell you they work like magic.

I live in Florida where the mosquitos are thick.
