Got some from walmart in camping supplies. Its only 25% deet. Usually I go with the sport max with the highest deet, but figured I'd give this a try.

Down here in SW Louisiana on the gulf coast the skeeters lick that stuff off you and than tear your arse. The sportsmans repel lotion is the only thing I found along with a themacell that will hold them back for a while. I'm not sure where you are at,it may work if they aren't to bad. Here they eat the can and all.

I used some and it smells like gas, not earth scented at all haha stick with deep woods for scouting. I don't use any during deer season, they stop bothering me after September.

Try a Thermacell. It put's off a slight odor, but I've never had it spook a deer. It uses a synthetic copy of a natural repellent. Save your used pads, during the rut put doe urine on them and put them back in the thermacell, and you have a great hot scent dispenser. You can get earth scented pads to put in it if you prefer. They work better than anything I've seen. BassPro has them for $19.95

Flip over the pads and you can get a few more hours out of them. Godd to know, if you run out of pads. Love my thermacell.

Great tip! I just bought a thermacell, and it seems to work pretty good so far (on the back porch)

I just got one last week too & I've been wearing it out... I love it! Just got a value pack of the earth scent refills, hoping that scent won't be offensive.

Don't worry about the deer smelling the thermacell, cause if they smell it, their already smelling you, and we know what that does.

Thermacell does wonders. Best skeeter repelant I've ever used.
