Question:
Which one would put a $25 Bass Pro card toward.
Option 1: Claw gun sling
votes: 15
Option 2: Thermacell
votes: 26
I judged a calling contest a few days back and I recieved a $25 gift card from Bass Pro. what do you guys think I should do get either a Claw sling for the ol' Black 870 or pick up a Thermacell.
I might add I don't have either.
for me i would rather go in the bush without my sling then my thermacell so i vote thermacell
Where do you hunt?
I'd go with the thermacell. Reason being even after turkey season you can use it in the boat or while camping. The sling would only used during hunting season. I would get more use the Thermacell.
Good Luck, Crappiepro

:agreed: 100% never go with out a thermocell.
It's hard for me to imagine heading into the woods without my gunsling, but it's even harder to imagine going in without my Thermocell. However, if you you do more walking than skeeter swatting(in Mo and Ok), then you may be better off with the sling.
I say sling. In WV I have a thermacell, but the bugs are minimal during my season April 23 is opening and lasts 4 weeks. Tics, now that is a different story.
The claw slings are a staple on every hunting gun i own. Thermacells always seemed like a waste of money. I use permanone on my clothes before season and it one less thing i have to worry about packing in my vest

good idea
Dryer sheet works almost as good as a thermacell and Permethrin works for the ticks....So buy the claw

Explain this dryer sheet idea to me. Have not heard that before . . .
I live in KY, I'd go with the sling, no doubt. I have both, barely use the thermacell during turkey season. I use it a lot during our early bow deer season though.
Where I hunt in Ga. I would not go in the woods without my Thermacell.
If it was me i would go with the thermacell.
Buy the sling, I have eight turkey guns and I ain't packing nary a one without a sling. Skeeter dope is cheap, swipe your wife/girlfriends skin so soft and use that or swipe her dryer sheets
A friend of mine gave me a Thermacell a few years ago, and I have yet to take it out of the box. When I hunt in the South, it is early in the season, and skeeters are not a big problem yet. When I hunt here, they normally just aren't that bad, so I just rely on some 100% deet from Walmart.

Rub it on your skin, then place one in your back pocket. I think it confuses them by making not be able to recognize your CO2(which is how skeeters find you).
