Bug skinz! I have used them religiously for well over ten years, never been bit while deer hunting. I hunt in some heavily tick infested areas.

I'm all about Sawyers. Just the regular one. I bet the "no stink" version works... But thus far, I've had great luck with the regular stuff.
Worth the risk hunt wise, to reduce the risk of tick borne illness IMHO.

Sawyer is my favorite. I haven't seen any ticks yet, even mosquitoes aren't as bad.

I just inspect myself when I get out of the woods, never been bit yet, and that's 47 years of hunting. I guess I don't taste all that good :)

Adult deer ticks will become active again when the weather cools. Mid October-December and warm days in the winter. There are still plenty out there. Still do tick checks every night.
