Just curious if any of you guys experience anything like this while turkey hunting. We dealt with em for the second half of the season. They can be a real pain in the arse.

I spent a weekend turkey hunting with them this year.  Those gnats were no joke!
A man fires a rifle for many years, and he goes to war. And afterward he turns the rifle in at the armory, and he believes he's finished with the rifle. But no matter what else he might do with his hands, love a woman, build a house, change his son's diaper; his hands remember the rifle.

No gnats this year,but I did bring home a spider the size of a dinner plate. Well ok.he was big as a quarter. Dropped my vest on the living room floor and out he came. Mashed him with a pot call.

Just don't tell anyone else my secret weapon.  ;D
I have heard that putting a couple bounce fabric softner sheets around your neck and in your shirt pocket helps. Might be worth a try, that looks nasty. I can't stand those biting gnats.

My Golly that's bad!!

I've been in a few places like that, but it was almost too unbearable to hunt. Usually in really wet areas though.


I'm not so sure a Thermacell would even work on those bugs.



God Bless,

We hunt in a swamp and they are all over us, we wouldnt be able to hunt without a thermacell.  Sometimes you can't even take a pee it's so bad.   :o

There were 2 Thermacells running in that video, works great on Skeeters but not at all on those gnats. Makes it rough but I can say, if I could still be out there hunting turkeys I would not let those things stop me. ;D

Get you some of that Sawyers spray and spray everything you own...I get the knats as soon as I sit down but once they land (or try to) they don't like it and leave...after about 3 minutes there are no bugs in sight...I didn't use my Thermacell one time this year

The gnats were terrible this year on our lease in central Alabama.
