    I've never had any deer bust me while using the regular one. I personally don't think it's needed since the radius isn't too far from the device and it likely dissipates into vapors before it goes too far to make much of a difference.

    Either works... neither spooks game. I actually think the original controls bugs a little better.

    I've also heard the original works better. That's the one I use.

    Some things are just created to increase sales.

    I use the earth smells like dirt so makes as a good cover scent as well. Works good.

    I'm ready for cooler weather. At this rate I probably should've put some stock in Thermacell. I'm blowing through the gas and pads like crazy.
