[QUOTE="41mag, post: 142353, member: 3804"] Ian, +1 on the spray. We have used just about everything mentioned here and still get a few every now and again. There is some stuff out which contains Permethrin, and you apply it to your clothes only. It will last for probably your whole trip and then some. Spray it on let it dry and your all set. This past fall we used some stuff called [url="http://www.robinsonoutdoors.com/osc/product_info.php?products_id=79&osCsid=1b81b64c3fa338900d44fe25819f0b35&cPath=22_52"]No Stinking Bugs[/url] , and found it worked pretty decent. IT was a little expensive, but when you are up close and personal with the deer you need something which they don't alarm to. THis stuff worked well even with deer as close as 15' from us. It kept the mosquitoes off as well as the other crawly critters. Since I had the grandson with me on every hunt, I had to make sure he was protected from the crawlies. As for a general spray we use Deep Woods Off. We generally just do a complete spray over as the little bugers will be at unknown levels of the vegitation. Spray from head to foot and especially around the openings of clothes, and around the sock tops.
