Default 23 Cents and 2300 Mosquito Bites!

I mentioned in an earlier post that I'm on the road and spending the night in Billings, MT...I have both my machines with me (in anticipation of the Lewis and Clark hunt!) so I decided to get a quick hunt in at a park I spotted across the street from my hotel....my gosh! I MUST be sweet smelling....I got SWARMED by mosquitoes....bitten all over...all for 23 cents! I couldn't stay out any longer than about 30 minutes...and wouldn't you know? I took the Deep Woods Off! out of my MD'ing bag and forgot to put it back....

Oh, well - at least I didn't get skunked!!

Ugh! That makes for a miserable hunt, for sure. Last Thursday the flies were biting really bad for some reason.

I hope you find more value with fewer bites on your L&C dig!

Just put a BOUNCE dryer sheet in each pocket and maybe one on your hat. You can also rub it across your skin, skeeters hate that smell.
