Thermacell for hunting?

[tazfxrp]

Are these OK to use when hunting or do they give the deer cause for alarm and split time? I'll be Hunting from the ground.

I have used one w/ NO ill affects.
Others may have a different opinion.
Your situation may vary!

yep, perfectly safe and even sell an earth scent refill. I hunt the swamps of fort Stewart and I swear by these.

The odd thing is with the fresh earth I had them blowing like crazy every time I fired it up. I've used one for 10 years and I had rather leave my bow at the house than I would my Thermocell. The regular pad seem to do pretty good for me. Either way they are worth having.

Thermacell is good to go. I use the the earth scent. The negative is that it seems to attract bees/yellow jackets. That part is annoying.

I have never tried one.

If they smell the thermacell then they smell you too. If you hunt the wind like you should then it isn’t an issue.

I've used one for years, on the ground and in a stand , so far I've never had one blow at me while using it.
