- Don't worry to much about the bug repellent. Deer down wind will
- smell you anyway. Concentrate your hunting to up wind areas and position
- yourself in the area accordingly. Having hunted in Florida for many years
- before moving to Colorado, I can assure you that the insect swatting will
- catch the deer's attention quicker than anything.
-
- By the way, the last time I deer hunted in the Ocala National Forrest, it
- was crawling with people. At that time no "hunter orange" clothing was
- required (it still might not be). In any case, be careful out there. The
- Florida woods are thick. Combine that with a load of hunters and you
- need to be really cautious. I'd wear orange in any case.
