While bowhunting yesterday afternoon, mosquitos continously kept flying into my face, by my ears, and even got bit by a few. What can I do to keep those things away from me out there without giving out myself and spooking deer? I read about thermacell devices,bug wristbands,and over a dozen types of sprays and I have no idea what would work. Any help in this is appreciated!

Anything with DEET, the more it has the better it will protect and the longer it will last. They make many sprays and lotions with DEET, and plenty of them have no scent. Just be careful because everyone I have used will also take the finish off of a wood stock.

Hi...
You could use some 'natural' bug sprays...but that probably wouldn't tempt a deer to come in closer. Either way, don't use a repellent containing DEET...!! It has too many medical drawbacks (personal experience...it will dissolve paint...!!).
I would recommend a headnet...which would also help conceal your face.
