MichiganHunter Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 HEY, I am bear hunting this september into mid to late october, and I'm hunting around swamps so LOTS OF SKEETERS. I was wondering if any one has used them in hunting situations and if they pose a scent problem in a hunting situation. THANKS FOR YOU HELP Kris Kline :pacman: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWSmith Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 (edited) Here's an open thread on them... http://www.realtree.com/forums/showthread.php?t=89101 I've never had a deer spook when using the thermacell for mosquitoes. Oh Yeah...Today is the LAST DAY to register and try to win a free Thermacell: http://www.thermacellpromotion.com/Register/Index Edited August 31, 2009 by GWSmith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirage Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 the thermacell is a must have for any bear hunter or deer hunter that hunts the swamps. It will get rid of thos epesky skeeters and nats. I hunt with one here in the flroida swamps and let me tell you I NEVER hunt without it. except in the winter when they are not active but spring time I got that thing working over time. It takes a couple of min. to start working but once it starts it works great! My budy had one in bear camp when they first came out and he could have sold it for $300 when those guys saw it work.trust me it works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michiganbowhunter_SQ2 Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 If you are worried about the regular mosquito repellent for the thermacell having an odor, they have one that is a mosquito repellent, but it has an earth scent to it.

Zero Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Have any of you killed with one running in you stand? and thanks for the help you are all great friends and very helpfull. Haven't killed a bear but have dropped several deer. It's one of the few things that actually work as advertised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWSmith Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Haven't killed a bear but have dropped several deer. It's one of the few things that actually work as advertised. Same here...Not any bear(so far) but it never spooked a deer and I dont think a bears nose is any better than a whitetails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michiganbowhunter_SQ2 Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Earth scent mosquito repellent refills: http://www.mosquitorepellent.com/EarthScent-Fall-Pack.asp The new Earth Scent mosquito repellent mats offer the same 15 x 15 ft zone of protection against pesky biting insects as the original ThermaCELL unscented mats – but with the added benefit and convenience of a cover scent.

Swamphunter Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 Have any of you killed with one running in you stand? and thanks for the help you are all great friends and very helpfull. I killed a Pope and Young bear in Saskatchewan in 2007 while using a thermocell. Bear paid no attention to it or me.... just bought myself one to take on my trip to northen Ontario bear hunting next week. Nothing to worry about with odor....
