Thermacell: Real Deal or Gimmick?
« on: July 11, 2013, 08:44:25 PM »
I got a Thermacell via a Winchester ammo promotion, but didn't get a chance to use this spring. Are these the real deal or urban legend?

It is the real deal. South Georgia turkey hunting has not been the same. That thing stays in my vest from year to year.

 I would leave my calls at home before I'd leave my Thermacell at home.

I was so impressed with them that I now own 6 or 7 of them and never, never, ever leave home with out one.  I use it in archery, spring gobbler, while camping and any other time I need one.  I have been hunting in swamps where the bugs and skeeters were so thick you couldn't see....turn on the thermacell and in a couple minutes, poof, no more bugs.  I don't even carry or use bug sprays at all anymore.  Probably the greatest thing to come along in the outdoor industry in decades.  Buy one, use it and enjoy nature!---Jason

Some places I've hunted on the Eastern Shore of Maryland I would never open the truck door without it.

They're for real.  You'll like it when you use one.

It appears as though you dont need any more opinions, but they are great on our "Lowcountry Helicopters".  Turkeys cant smell so scent does not matter, where you really appreciate them is on early season deer hunts where DEET smell is a huge liability.

They absolutely work! When they first came out, I was hunting along the St. Johns River in Fla and the mosquitos were flying in clouds......except where I was sitting w/ my thermo cell!  RkLu RkLu RkLu
