Yes sir I bought that thing specifically to use on the Blackwater !

And it works great as long as the winds not blowing hard .

I used to smear 90% Deet bug spray all over my hands and face . And I honestly think those little bastards in the marsh around Blackwater looked as the bug spray the way you or I would look at ketchup on a hamburger .

Since getting that Thermacell back around 2005 I think . I've had little problems with the flying buzzing critters of the Blackwater .

They aren't overly expensive I think you can get the unit and the little holster thing for about $30-35 .

I will not hunt the early muzzleloading season in Dorchester County without it . Very rarely need it for the gun opener but I usually take it along just incase it's unseasonably warm !
