If that big boy is chasing, the only thing he's smelling is attached to the south end of a north facing doe. Of course you have to be smart about it, but the rut changes everything.

Yeah, the blue thing you stick in the thermacel that it heats up to piss off bugs.

Simply put, we have a smell that they associate with danger. A predatorial smell.


we call that "booger" smell. When deer smells booger, he gone. Thermacell does not smell like booger.
