Holy cow!
DF, I hear you about Louisiana heat and humidity. The one thing we have here is a breeze blowing off the Atlantic all the time. When the breeze is still in your neck of the woods, it can be miserable. Oh, and my Thermacell was sitting on my desk at home, doing me a lot of good out in the woods! And why no seeums are so far from the water, I haven't a clue, but they certainly were. So it was back to the DEET. Glad I'm done with the family stuff. I've used enough of that poison that my next kid would probably have one big eye right in the middle of the forehead.
Ingwe, get the Thermacell and some extra fuel and mats. You ought to be fine. February in Florida ain't like February in Montana. It won't be anything like it is right now (it may be 80 degrees but the humidity won't be so high), but it can still be buggy. No snow, though.

I use a Thermacell from time to time, but since reaching the 100 quarts donated threshold the bugs don't bother me much anymore except for noseeums. That's what the Thermacell is for I guess.
Bigger stuff, I use the 7x57, nothing can stand against it.
I am..........disturbed.

DF Are you kidding? Just like Floridians like western beef, our mosquitos like western blood.

Just be aware that some smartphone pictures will show as upside down when the thread is viewed on a phone, although they'll be ok on a desktop/laptop. Either that or I need to do an exorcism on this iPhone.

To the visiting sportsman, it was a bit of extra added flavor� To the resident, it was a PITA... It was cool hearing them call each other to get back together though�.

DF Does this look like a man skeered of skeeters? No, it looks like a man prepared to leap into action and beat them to death with his walking stick. ...or his .270!
These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.
