elkaholic Report post Posted July 29, 2017 well- did a little scouting today in 21. - Very Green out there. Tanks are over full - BUGS galore - looks like a bumper yr. for bugs. teeenie tiny knats swarmin everytime ya stop- ALREADY . Gonna get worse as hunting seasons are almost here! This is fair warning for all fall hunters - if you don't own a bug net-GET ONE buy all the latest scent free bug stuff - and have it ready - -NOW cuz your gonna need it!. I'm sure even the mtn hunts aren't gonna escape bugs this yr. the lower desert hunts are gonna be worse 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dmoto Report post Posted July 29, 2017 I use a thermacell all the time when out duck hunting the early mountain zone or shooting dove the first week of Sept. I wouldn't hunt the early season without it. However, I haven't used it elk or deer hunting yet. So, not sure about scent. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

grey curse Report post Posted August 4, 2017 I get a that Thermacel is the best thing since sliced bread but I can't afford to run it 24/4. I'm packing in for the first time in august for four days and was trying to find a sent free bug spray for the nights. Don't want to have to pack in pints of blood as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
