With turkey season right around the corner, what repellent is everyone using? With permethrin being the best repellent who makes their own from concentrate? Alot cheaper than buying a spray can from Walmart and a quart will make gallons...

I hear nothing but good things about the above product. I will be purchasing some this year given the tick situation nowadays and due to taking my daughter turkey hunting this year.

I don't think it's that expensive. You don't have to put it on every time you go out like deet. I'll text Joe/Blan right now, seems like it was him.

I bought the 32 ounce bottle of 36.8% concentrate off amazon last year for just under $30, mixed up a gallon and put it on my camping stuff and some clothes and sprayed it around the outside of the house. Worked great. I can't remember how much it makes but I want to say it's good for 30 gallons or more.

Kills 'em. It's measured in washes not weeks from what I remember.

Damn you guys have problems with ticks. I'm lucky and never have them. Must be a smell thing as I have little problems with mosquitoes to.

I find them crawling on me but 99% of the time I can feel them and get them before they embed. Of the hundreds and hundreds I've found on me only 1-2 actually bit me. Mosquitos don't bother me much either. Someone can be sitting 3 feet from me getting tore up and they won't bother me. Either they don't bite me or I just don't feel it. Lol.

Blam37 got his chit together thats what I started this thread for.. Brew your own and save.. Been reading that guys make their own by the gallons for years.. I watched a tick on my pant leg one year that was treated with permitrin.. Did the same thing.. Flipped over and died... I think it lasts like 6 washes.
