Wow. $8 extra for the camo thermacell as oppossed to the OD green. Do you think it's really worth it? Do you think deer are going to notice one green Thermacell the size of a big leaf?

Also: does it take a few minutes for the gases (or whatever is emitted by the Thermacell) to accumulate and become effective? If so, does it work while fishing if you're using an electric motor to work the shoreline? I would think if your constantly moving (even a little) it would be less effective.

I received this email from Thermacell- Dear Mr. Russell: A few years ago we came out with a ThermaSCENT product where you can put your own deer urine on a pad, insert the pad on our ThermaSCENT appliance which will heat the scent into the air, getting it into the air 7x faster than an ordinary wick. For more information, please see www.thermascent.net. This fall we have a new Mosquito Repellent Earth Scent refill which is a mosquito repellent mat that also has earth scent which acts as a cover scent while hunting.

WOW, they think of everything. I saw the reviews of this thing on here and at basspro and cabelas.com. Looks like it works very well, nearly everyone gave it a glowing review. I will have to give it a try! -76 I received this email from Thermacell- Dear Mr. Russell: A few years ago we came out with a ThermaSCENT product where you can put your own deer urine on a pad, insert the pad on our ThermaSCENT appliance which will heat the scent into the air, getting it into the air 7x faster than an ordinary wick.

Are you sure the ThermaSCENT website link is correct? All that opened for me was a blank page.

Boy, they are getting good reviews!
Personally I believe the odors that I produce roughly every 5-10 minutes disturb the deer a lot more than any thermacell unit........

One word of advice on the Thermacell, don't forget to shut it OFF! I tend to forget mine is even on, then forget to shut it off and burn out all the butane.

I just went to www.walmart.com and did a search for thermacell. They are selling the Thermascent for $22.22. You can use any scent you want. Skunk scent anyone? www.walmart.com/search/search-ng.do?search_constraint=0&search_query=Thermacell&Find.x=18&Find.y=8&Find=Find&ic=48_0Features & Specifications Hunters can attract game faster with Thermascent. This innovative scent dispersal system heats any attractant or cover scent releasing a warm, fresh scent into the air. The consistent heat produced by Thermacell maximizes the amount of scent released. In fact, Thermascent puts up to 7 times more scent into the air than conventional scent wicks. Each Thermascent mat holds up to 1/2 ounce of liquid and lasts up to 4 hours. * CamoPuts up to 7 times more scent into the air than conventional scent wicks * Lasts up to 4 hours on 1/2 ounce of liquid scent

I used mine for the first time yesterday looking for bushy tails. Absolutely no doubt that it has a definate odor and absolutely no doubt that it really really works.
I will use it for deer. I don't think the smell is enough to spoke deer when I am 20 feet up in a tree and hunting high in the morning and low in the evening. I think not swating skeeters will be more positive then the smell is negative.
Plus I will only need it for the first couple weeks.

I just saw in a magazine where they do now have the earth scent that you can buy for the thermacells, so there will be no need to worry about what little odor it did produce. Now it will help rid the bugs and work as a cover scent. I'm gonna try to get some this weekend.

Everything I heard was good also, good enough that I bought one... they even have repellent pads with earth scent.

How does one use it for busy tail hunting. Do you carry it lit while moving? The one I have it seems like it takes it a few minutes to start actually repelling the skeeters after firing it up it seem to me that you would have to be still and not moving for it to work well.

They work the best when you are going to be stationary for a good length of time. If you are moving all the time it doesn't give the repellent enough time to spread out around you and keep the bugs away. I went looking for the earth scent pads at Wal Mart and could not find any at all.

The regular ones work fine for me.

Yeah I have some of the regular ones, but I was wanting to find some of the earth scent pads, so I don't have to worry about what little odor the regular ones put out.
