Bugs and Hunting - How to prevent bug bites while hunting

It's that time of year again, time for spring hunting. The best environment, perfect temperature, and great game waiting for you to catch. But for some, hunting during the spring can be a task, especially in warmer climates where the mosquitoes and bugs can run rampant. Don't let this stop you from enjoying the warm weather and great game only available during spring. Rather, stop bugs in their tracks!

First, make sure you bath before you hunt, and avoid using any products that may contain scents. Flowery or fruity scents attract bugs, and will make you a target or their lunch.

Invest in a good bug spray. When you're looking for a bug spray, avoid the ones with many harsh residues. Bug sprays that offer a light cover may not work as well. For those with skin problems, there are many options available for those with sensitive skin.

Don't forget your companion during this time! Dogs can catch heartworms from mosquitoes, so it's important to keep pets on heartworm protection if they will be joining your hunt.
