Who uses a Thermo Cell in the bush?

[mattadam]

I discovered quickly why a thermacell is a valuable piece of equipment when I was on my first turkey hunt 3 years ago.
I was determined not to move because we had two toms in sight following a hen making her way down a small hill in front of us.

I'd leave my gun at home before I'd leave my thermacell behind!!!

As JMatthews said, if you don't think it's working, turn it off! We were getting bit some on a spring turkey hunt, so I turned it off. It was insane how many more skeeters swarmed within a minute or two.

I bought the earth scent by accident once. I prefer the original since the earth scent smells like rotting leaves and dirt, but I'm not worried about scent as a bird hunter.

The first time I used one, it didn't work at all. Was worse even. Then I realized that I forgot the pad I bought one of the camo cases for it that houses some extra pads and butane so I never run out in the bush.

They don't do much when there's a stiff breeze or when you're moving quickly, but the skeeters aren't usually as bad in those cases anyway.

Dang Mattadam,That pic makes me feel itchy..I hope you got the bird for enduring that torture.

Lol. Both shoulders and arms, the top of my back and the tops of my knees looked like that. Unfortunately no I didn't get my first gobbler that year, but I learned the value of a thermacell and tagged my first bird the next spring. Now I am anxiously awaiting this years spring season, when I renewed my OOD subscription this year I ordered the turkey and fishing package that comes with a thermacell. Now I will have two of them and no excuse for mosquitoes to hassle me.

I don't leave home without it.

I don't leave home without it.

What he said !!!!!!! More important than decoys. !!

I won't leave home during late turkey season without it. It's a lifesaver. Best money I've spent on turkey gear!
