I am thinkg of purchasing a Therma Cell this year. I thought it was just a new gimmick when they first came out but they are sticking around. I am a die hard scent freak and dont want anything that might spook the deer. Has anyone out there had a bad experience or good experience with them? Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

I posted on this earlier this fall and yes they work great on skeeters and they do give off a odor that i can smell and have been winded a couple of times! Now in the defense of thermacell alot of the guys on the forum swear by um and love em. I would buy one and see what you think but i wont use mine and gave it away. To me if i can smell it the deer can!

I have one and love it... Never been winded... Last weekend I had several does at the base of my tripod feeding and they had no idea... One thing tho... Still spray your legs. Thermacells don't prevent chiggers...

I used the earth scented wafers on opening weekend and had deer within 10 feet with no problem.

Where do you buy the earth scented refills?

Hunting is more to me than Antlers on the wall. It's more about the memories you make, and sharing those memories with friends, and family.

Do the earth scent wafers also keep skeeters away, the only ones I have seen or used are the wafers that come with the refill packages. They did make scent wafers for a thermacell but I don't think it had the same repellant affect. But, I could be wrong.

My wife and I used one opening weekend and had 4 bucks 15 yards away standing around eating and not a bit excited. We didnt use any of the scent pads, just the mosquito pads

I hunted with mine every hunt open weekend! I would fire it up at the truck...walk in and strap it to the tree! I was about 18-20 ft up and never had any deer spook??? I wear a crap load of earth cover scent though???? 
It doesnt keep chiggers off though like someone mentioned!
