Mosquitos and Thermacells...

I am assuming I'm not alone with this, but for the last couple weeks when I've been out checking cameras and clearing stands I have been absolutely ATTACKED by the state bloodsucking bird. In my favorite and best spot, its a low-lying meadow with a pond or two and the mosquitos are literally unbelievable. You can hear them buzz in the early AM and late PM. I have bought a Thermacell in anticipation and hopefull prevention from these bloodsuckers. Just curious if anyone has used one before and if it worked? Or if anyone has any crazy home seceret remedy that will magically repel them...

Let the longest week of the year begin.

its really amazing how well they work!! I use mine all the time...whether in my boat at sundown fishing, sitting at a campfire at night.....or in bow stand!! It gives off no scent so no worries about it scaring deer away with odor either!!

I agree they are the bomb. I did a hunt in Manitoba two weeks ago and the bugs were incredible. But with my Thermacell, I hunted in peace.

I actually found some replacement packs in a Winnipeg archery shop with "cover scent" on the label. I've never seen these in the USA and I'll be using one most likely on opening morning.

      Heading up to LV a week from today with the kids. Any advice for us? Staying on the West side but open to traveling if the weather permits.   The way the last few weeks have gone, might stay for good!!!

      Do have Wi-Fi in your house. Your going to need that to work with any of the cameras that send a signal and video to your phone.  Hardwire is the best but battery power workers well for about two months then you have to pull them and recharge them.  It is nice to sit on a beach in Key West and keep an eye on your house when gone! 👌

      With all the craziness in the world I’m looking at getting an outdoor security camera setup for my home. Anyone have ideas on what works well without a huge cost  and easy to do . Or is it better to go with a company to set it up.  We have recently had copper thefts in the area at farmers fields and bin sites and I know it will only gat worse as these things always do. I probably want something that hooks up to my phone as well and wondering if there is a good one with either battery life or if wired is better. Any thoughts are welcome.

      Aren't they the ones that ran into problems about illegal bait? Anyone know how that turned out?

      You launch on Moose Lake to get to the motorized portage. It's called Prairie portage. To get to the portage you put in at Moose Lake. From Moose you go into Newfound Lake. From Newfound you go into Sucker Lake. On Sucker is where Prairie portage is. There is a dock on the American side and on the Canadian side there is big sign welcoming you to Canada. Latourell's Resort runs the portage and the cost for the portage is $40 for a round trip.

      Will that blond haired kid have that cool little orange boat in the show this weekend? Saw him driving around by Muskego Point a few times this summer.

      Nope, there are parts of Basswood that allow motors.   Entry is from Fall Lake, and there is (I think) a motorized portage.   It is really popular in the spring...
