I may have ruined mine. Seems the small bottle of bug spray I carry with me leaked some how. It saturated the pocket it was in and spread to some others as well. It was 100% deet. Anything that was plastic or rubber it ruined. All the little plastic mouth call holders it got on virtualy melted. Also one of those rubber snake bite kits melted. Couldn't ever seperate it. But the worse that happened it leached over to the pouch I keep my favorite call ever. It's a Cody glass and it took the finish right off the bottom of it. Luckily it still sounds alright but when I first saw it I think my heart stopped for a moment. Wont take much to refinish it though. Anyhow, thought I'd give a heads up to everybody to be carefull what you put in your vest. I couldn't believe all the damage that little bottle did. hw

I rarely ever use bug spray. I always spray my clothes and vest down with Permanone at the start of the season to keep the tics away but thats about it. I always carry a small bottle of some kind of repellent with me just in case. I always put the deet on my clothes, never the skin. hw
