    Out here in Ohio, we have an abundance of mosquitos because of all he wet weather we have. What kind of repellent do you recommend while hunting? I've heard about the thermocel is there any other?

    ThermaCell is the best hunting repellent you can buy IMO. It works great and I've had deer underneath my treestand while using it. Not to mention it also works great for fishing, camping, checking trail cams, etc. I won't go into the woods without mine.

    How do you use it exactly? Do you just strap it to a tree? Leave it on the ground?

    I bought a Thermasell repellent system. It came with a butane and 3 mats but didn't say if it was scented or Unscented. How do I determine what is scented or unscented? It is not marked like the earth scent. Thanks for your help.

    I live in South Louisiana and have actually gotten down from my stand and drove 45 mins back home because I didn't have my thermacel. It's the best invention since toilet paper!
