    Yeah, that sounds worse than ticks. I'm hoping I don't have similar issues as I'm severely allergic to bees.... lol. Epi pen stays in my pack at all times. I went and got me a 24 oz bottle of sawyers today. It was the last bottle cabelas had. I'm guessing I'm not the only one with a tick issue.

    Worst part of early season for me is usually the warm temps, the bugs come in a close second. I bought a ThermaCELL that I'll try out this season. I've heard nothing but good about them.

    Yes, the force is strong with the ThermaCELL. My buddy and I used two of them in late July to hang stands. we were still getting a couple of biting flies on us, but not nearly as bad as when we walk away from the ThermaCells. it created a wall around us. NICE VERY NICE!

    I hate ticks, but would rather deal with them than skeeters the size of hummingbirds with west nile!

    I think the general consensus is that bugs in general are the worst part... ticks, flies, bees, masquitos... pick your poison. We all hate the annoying bugs.
