Thanks for the responses. I tried it out on the patio this morning and it seemed to work fine. I'm thinking of using it when I check my trail cams.
Probably one of the best investments that I have ever made. I hunt my farm on the eastern shore of MD which is near Blackwater... Swampy sitka country. I would not go in the woods without one early season. Also on your deck at your house. I throw one on each end of the deck when we have folks over and I think they all are heading to BAss Pro first thing in the am they are so impressed. The smell... I think is not a factor in the woods.
