Sept Deer Hunting

[IndispensableDestiny]

Permanone

treat every single bit of hunting clothing with permanone and there will not be a bug problem. chigger wont live long enough to make it to your socks much less a leg or groin.

Permanone is 50/50 permethrin and piperonyl butoxide. The piperonyl butoxide is a synergist for permethrin and other insecticides. You don't want piperonyl butoxide on you or on your clothes. It's best to keep that for spraying a barn or garage.

Permethrin is broad spectrum so it kills most all insects.

Get some Martins 10 percent permethrin and dilute it with water 10 to 1 up to 20 to 1. You'll save a boat load over Sawyers spray which is 0.5 percent.

If you ever get scabies, Sawyers mixed 50/50 with body lotion does the trick. Apply twice, one week apart.

Chiggers are a type of arthropod and belong in the same class as ticks , so permethrin should work on them. For Mosquitos use a thermacell.

Thermacells emit allethrin, which is pyrethroid, just like permethrin. Permethrin is broad spectrum, so it works on mosquitoes, chiggers, lice, mites, etc.

I probably won't start hunting till late September or early October unless we get a cool morning.

I guess my statement was, not that its too hot to dress/butcher but too hot for the deer to come out for hunting. When its 80-95 by day light Id imagine they are bedding down.

Bedding down? Drive down 70 or 32 - they're committing suicide in the streets

I drove down to the beach last Monday around 2pm and saw about 20 deer milling around in a field just before you hit the nanticoke river bridge. Not to mention all the others all the way down.

And you are talking about the last field on the left before you get to the nanticoke bridge. Saw over 30 last week right before the rain at about 3:45. Heat doesn't seem to affect the deer unless it is hunting season for some reason. Too hot in october and you aren't seeing anything.

Thumbs up for Thermacel. Got Lyme disease walking my dog in AA county and my hands (as in nearly every joint) hrt for 1 1/2 years. Thermacel isn't any good for dog walking but great for a stand and doesn't seem to spook deer.

I won't go hunting without a thermacell in hand.. It does not spook deer in my many years of using one and until it gets frozen, I always have one burning in the stand or blind. I don't like repellents of any kind when deer hunting, but this is one I can handle.. lol

Heading to Canada next week for some fishing.. the Thermacell and it's backup will both be packed. Works pretty well on blackflies too!

The Scent Shield products called "No Stinkin' Bugs" works well in both the red and green cans.

Deer will come within 15 yards.

Much needed for September crossbow season.

Yes the one on the left with house sitting in the middle of that huge field. No matter what time of day (as long as the sun is out) I alway see deer there. That would be a great place to hunt.

so how can a sue repel for making it then?

Mark, I've only seen 1 person hunting it last year during gun season. On the left side, could see his orange. The woods surrounding it are all Chesapeake tree property. Bet they will never let that lease go.

I just ordered my new bow, and it should get here Saturday! My question: I have only ever hunted firearm and muzzleloader (cold weather) and never Bow. After reading about the tick problem in warm weather, I looked into Permathrin. I found a quart of 35% for $23 on amazon. Is that still safe to use if diluted, or is the stuff that concentrated meant for other uses?

Secondly, if anyone has any suggestions for hunting off the ground or in a makeshift blind that be cool -- I have no money after the Bow, so this year is not going to be a tree stand year...thanks!

When you say new bow, are you saying you have owned a bow before and are proficient?

I would say start shooting your butt off when it gets here and if you are not proficient to take a good shot at 20 yards and under do not hunt.

 

[Franklin]

More variables go into it then just being able to take a shot at 20. He wants to hunt from the ground or blind, that would entail shooting sitting down. sitting and standing are two different bags of nuts as i am sure you know. One does not order a bow a month before the season starts, shoots it standing up in they yard a few times with feild points, throws on untuned broadheads and lloks for a deer to wound. That shit just ain't right.

15 days to opening day!! I have been seeing deer all over lately too.

 

[blacklab25]

If you want to hunt off the ground I would strongly suggest a pop up ground blind. You can get some for fairly cheap. Only open the windows for the direction you plan on shooting. I wouldn't suggest shooting through the screen in the windows.

I will not be hunting until I believe I am proficient with my bow -- I have no intention on maiming a deer. I have never owned my own bow, but I have shot bows on several occasions. Unfortunately, I just didn't have the money to spring until now.


I have the resources to shoot as much as I want at pretty much any distance that I would be presented with. I was asking because I would like to prepare in all aspects of Bow hunting. If I don't feel comfortable, then I will wait it out til firearms. Thanks.

Dilute 1 oz of the permethrin to make 70 oz. That will give 0.5 percent. Don't get the 35 percent stuff on you or pets.

It's easier to deal with if you start with 10% permethrin, but more expensive if you mix up tons of it. I mixed up a half gallon of 1% to destroy a swarm of Japanese beetles that were eating hydrangeas.
