Is there a product or a home remedy that will repel gnats, flies, etc without giving off a scent that will scare off game? Yesterday a Friend and I went on a coyote hunt and were covered with gnats. Any ideas?

Thermalcells will work but only when you get to your spot. They don't work as you walk in...However I have had success with OFF Modules that you clip to your belt for walking in or hunting while I am walking.... I use both when on stand... lastly...Basspro and other stores do sale a hunting hat with a net to keep them  out of your eyes..Look in the camping areas of stores for this product too...

I use the Themocell. Works fine.

PAFurpuncher, I hunted Coyote the past 3 mornings and didn't see a bug because it was too cool. Didn't need the Themocell.
This morning was too foggy, so I drove away from river to a mountain which was clear(er).
Beautiful 3 mornings in the woods. Love it when it cools off and can wear a jacket.
