love mine
i bought one at the end of last season but didn't get a chance to use it. this weekend, i cranked it up for the first time and it worked like a charm.
i haven't heard of anyone saying they spooked deer due to the scent. using it during the day i didn't realize just how much repellent was being put in the air until i got ready to get out of my stand last night. i turned on my headlamp and there was a very faint misty, smoke (almost hate to call it smoke it was so faint) all around me you could see in the light!
broadhead, from this forum, said the mats can evaporate some and lose their potency so i take my mats out and place them in a ziplock bag to keep them. don't know if this helps but it sure isn't going to hurt.
after using it this weekend, i wouldn't be in the woods without it again! leaving it behind would be like leaving my arrows at home. matter of fact, i went ahead and spent $50 last night online purchasing a "summer pack" that comes with 10 butane refills and 30 mats. that should last me all season. if anyone has an interest in the summer pack they should check out the thermacell web site. if you know you're going to use it, you might as well buy in bulk and save a couple of bucks.
has anyone tried the thermascent? same concept and look as thermacell but you use it to heat up scent pads you put your favorite attractant on.
