Hi all, My last three times out in the couple weeks have resulted in me unable to focus because of the annoyance of deer flies. Is there anything out there that actually works against these pests other than a bee keepers net? (That might look a bit odd...lol) Anyway I use 40% deet Repel and that has had no effect whatsoever. If anyone has any sure methods of deterring these buggers it would be greatly appreciated as I have been reduced to birding from my car and I am not really into that. Feel free to email me with any suggestions. Thanks, Bill ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
