Guest wsb Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 How many of ya'll use thermacells? I figured they were just a gimmick but I bought one and used it tonight as I shot my bow. I normaly get ate up with skeeters but tonight I did'nt get bit once. I am a believer now! The only thing now that I wonder about is do deer really not smell it?

Guest thrash Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Re: Thermacell... I have used Thermacell for some time now. It does really work. It is a must hunting early season down south. I use it while in a few of my ladder stands and have had many deer walk right under the stand and remain in the area for a while. It does produce a slight odor, but as far as I can tell it hasn't scared any deer away. Here is the way I look at it. If you are in a stand, then you are obviously elevated and heat rises, so the smell should rise and not move towards the deer at ground level. Just my thoughts and opinions.

tallone Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Re: Thermacell... Worth it's weight in gold in south Louisana. Really works great and have yet to spook a deer using it. I remember seeing a video of someone putting one in a pile of corn and deer just ate around it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunterfisherman Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Re: Thermacell... I got one this summer. Worked great during fishing season and I can't wait to take it out during the early archery season. I was very supprised at how well it worked.

GWSmith Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Re: Thermacell... I used one for the first time this past weekend at a friends Birthday Party. It definitely works! There was a slight breeze so I set it upwind from where we were standing and we did not slap one mosquitoe Thats the present I got him too...he did not have one so I got him the thermacell unit, the holster, and the refills package. Now we both have one so were set for doing some serious Swamp Hunting this season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TnLungBuster Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 Re: Thermacell... Is it normal for the Thermacell to smoke? Mine started doing it the other day and I immediately turned it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the chemical emitted from the scented pads in the form of smoke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
