So what do the guys of trad gang think of bug suits. Was on the Eastern shore of Maryland on the 15th of Sept and the Mosquitoes tore me up. :knothead:
Shannons Bug Suit. Gotta get one.
good suit plus a thermocell work here in Florida.
Shannon Bug suit all the way. Spend the extra and get the leafy one, deer will crawl all over you and never know your there.
Another vote for the Shannons Bug Suit.
Make that another vote on Shannons Bug Suit. I wouldn't hunt spring gobbler or early deer season without one.
I bought the wally-world leafy bug suit a few years ago, and it worked wonders it's first season. The second year the mosquitos tore my rear end off. I still use it for camo (it's great to hunt in shorts and a sleeveless t-shirt in 80 degree Texas Octobers), but I have to carry my thermocell with me.
I hunt swamps almost exclusively since I am stationed at Camp Lejeune and I was stationed in SC prior to that. Wearing a bug suit jacket is almost as important as remembering to bring my bow. I have the leafy one but I cut all of the leaves off of my bow arm.
Someone gave me the advice during the early season to get it soaking wet with water and wear it bare-chested while in your treestand. In theory the evaporating water would make you feel cooler in your stand. I actually tried this once and the suit made me itch more than most mosquitos could... I now wear it only how it was intended to be worn (lol)
