Kevo72 Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 With the mild winter we had in Ohio I predicted a severe mosquito problem. Well there are so I figured I would start looking into repellant for early deer season. I have a buddy who says he swears by Therma cell. Has anyone got any advice on this device. And does anyone recommend any other repellant option for early season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OKstate Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 I just bought a therma cell also...... I have tried it out yet, but I also heard good things about them. If I get a chance to use it soon I will report back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesse8953 Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 I use them in turkey season and early deer season.They don't work when it is windy but other than that they are great. Here is how to get a free one if you need any turkey loads. http://www.winchester.com/library/special-offers/Pages/2012-Spring-Turkey.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 I have a buddy who says he swears by Therma cell. I do too! I use mine during most of the MS bow season & spring turkey season. If you hunt where there's black flys, I don't know if they work on them or not. They work on every flying pest I have to deal with during the warmer hunting season days down here.

redkneck Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 In bow season hunting at times in creek bottoms, I could literally not hunt if it weren't for one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevo72 Posted June 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 Therma Cell I am really liking the reviews I am getting. What I am most concern with and only because I don't know nothing about them is do they put off any kind of scent. I seen one on eBay where it came with earth scent. I am not too crazy about anything which puts off scent no matter what it is. What would like to know is how does it work? Still if it as good as everyone says the $49 price for the kit is still cheaper than a big suit I seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkneck Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 They do put off odor but it is mild and almost negligible. Small propane cylinder makes heat and burns off chemicals on a strip. I think one cylinder will burn like 3 strips. Just buy one, trust me. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 If you hunt where there's black flys, I don't know if they work on them or not. They do not work for deer flies. Therma cell works fairly well here in the swamp for skeeters, but I still think it spooks some deer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterfowler Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 I like them. I live in Ohio like you do and the mosquitos are bad! I use it for turkey and deer season and nightfishin for catfish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevo72 Posted June 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Therma Cell Well that's it then! Guess I got to get one. Still a little hesitant about any odor... After all that is our worst enemy when hunting deer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maine Hntr Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Thanks for the link Jesse, I went on and ordered myself one too. Probably wouldn't have if it wasn't $10 off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 the advice i can give is to use it! been using mine more and more for warm weather hunting, camping, and at bow shoots. it just plain works. get the holster and carry spare butane and pads with it.

Tominator Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 I use my thermacell all the time in early season. This year in Ohio though, we might not have to worry because there's no water around for them to lay eggs, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevo72 Posted June 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 Therma Cell Good point. The area I have been scouting borders a marshy swamp, and there is always water which is stagnate. I like the spot so much because it naturally funnels everything in one way or the other. It appeared to be a deer mega highway by the looks of trails and it is a water source. So the Mosquitos are something I am willing to deal with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitetailfreak55 Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 I got one from the Winchester giveaway pretty good deal. Have yet to try it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoHuntress Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 My Thermacell is one of my most favored pieces of gear. I use it during spring turkey season and early bow season here in Missouri. They work GREAT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
