ExOfficio.com/InsectShield Link to this page We serious bowhunters willingly endure many hardships in our pursuit of game with bow and arrow bow and arrow, weapon consisting of two parts; the bow is made of a strip of flexible material, such as wood, with a cord linking the two ends of the strip to form a tension from which is propelled the arrow; the arrow is a straight shaft with a sharp point on one . Bring on the frigid mornings, sweltering afternoons, gale-force winds, driving rain, blizzards, fog, wolves, bears, snakes, and the most fearsome of all adversaries, the upset spouse. We'll not be deterred by any of these challenges. They might slow us down from time to time, but stop us in our tracks? Never! But wait. One adversary has the power to keep us at home, doing yard work or painting the kitchen, and that's bugs. I'm not talking about a few mosquitoes at sundown or a gaggle of gnats nipping at your ears. We can usually handle that kind of bug problem. It's the major squadrons of skeeters and gnats in attack mode that can make the most hardcore among us wonder if sitting in a treestand or ground blind is really worth the misery. Seldom do I ever stay home from hunting because of the weather or disagreeable mammals and reptiles, but I have stayed home many times because of bugs. In my home state of North Dakota North Dakota, state in the N central United States. It is bordered by Minnesota, across the Red River of the North (E), South Dakota (S), Montana (W), and the Canadian provinces of Saskatchewan and Manitoba (N). , our mosquitoes are so big the Game and Fish Department issues tags for them. And with the bow season opening

September 1, hunters are almost always plagued with vicious mosquitoes during that first month. To make matters worse, some years buffalo gnats join the party, and they will happily fly off with chunks of your hide. When either of those pests is present in large numbers, bowhunters are not.

Caribou (kr`b ), town (1990 pop. 9,415), Aroostook co., NE Maine, on the Aroostook River; inc. 1859. hunters also understand the challenges presented by bugs. While hunting spring black bears in the Canadian bush, I've seen mosquitoes so bad that the drone of their wings became a form of mind-bending torture. On caribou hunts in Quebec, the black flies and "white socks" have been such vicious carnivores, hunters in my party have had to duct-tape our pant pant v. To breathe rapidly and shallowly. legs and cuffs shut to keep out the swarms. Fortunately, duct tape duct tape n. A usually silver adhesive tape made of cloth mesh coated with a waterproof material, originally designed for sealing heating and air-conditioning ducts. Noun 1. is no longer needed as protection against bugs, and today's high-tech bug suits serve double and even triple duty. First, they do a great job of keeping out the bugs, but they also serve as excellent camouflage, and some perform the task of scent containment, too. The advancements in hunting clothing just keep coming, and here are four options I have found to be just what the entomologist ordered when it comes to keeping you bowhunting Bowhunting is the practice of taking game animals by archery. Technique In contrast to a rifle hunter, who may shoot effectively from ranges in excess of 200 yards (about 180 m), archers will usually restrict shots to 45 yards or less, depending on factors such as effectively in bug weather. Robinson Outdoors The Buglite G2 from Robinson Outdoors is one example of a multi-tasking hunting outfit. This suit is improved for 2005 (G2=Generation Two) with an outer fabric that is less shiny than that on the first generation suits but that still provides great protection

from bugs. The collar, wrist, ankle cuffs, and waist have BodyLock elastic that will shield you from the nasty flying insects as well as help to contain your scent. The scent protection in the Buglite G2 comes from the carbon lining rated at SPF (1) (Stateful Packet Firewall) See stateful inspection. (2) (Sender Policy Framework) An e-mail authentication system that verifies that the message came from an authorized mail server. (Scent Protection Factor) 40, which means it contains 40 grams of carbon per square yard. The carbon adsorbs your scent to give you added advantage when a big black bear slips downwind to scent-check your bait. For a carbon suit, this one is very quiet, and it's not so heavy that you cannot wear it in relatively warm weather. The pants have 20-inch leg zippers, so you can easily carry them to your stand and then slip them on in the field. Other features include a zip-out face shield Face shield refers to a variety of devices used to protect a medical professional during a procedure that might expose the worker to blood or other potentially infectious fluid. An example is the use of a CPR mask while performing Rescue breathing or CPR. with a black eye panel, which offers better visibility than a camouflage net over the face. I found that if I turn back the edges of the hood my peripheral vision peripheral vision n. Vision produced by light rays falling on areas of the retina beyond the macula. Also called indirect vision.

Peripheral vision is improved. The gloves are attached to the sleeves so you cannot lose them, and a built-in armguard zips onto either arm. The pants have large side cargo pockets with a side-entry zipper for access when you're sitting down. The entire suit packs into a built-in storage bag in the back of the jacket. The Buglite G2, available in Realtree Hardwoods Green and Mossy mossy adj. mossier, mossiest 1. Covered with moss or something like moss: mossy banks. 2. Resembling moss. 3. Old-fashioned; antiquated. Oak Break-Up, was designed with both bugs and bowhunters in mind. It certainly will keep you bowhunting, no matter how bad the bugs. Shannon Outdoors Another outstanding multi-purpose bug suit is the Classic BUG Tamer Plus from Shannon Outdoors. The focus is squarely on bugs with this lightweight mesh suit featuring DoubleGuard. I describe DoubleGuard as a net-like liner designed to create a space between the tightly woven, no-see-urn proof outer mesh and your body. In particular, when you're dealing with mosquitoes you need that space to prevent the pests

from weaving their beaks through the mesh and into your skin. You could wear several layers of clothing and hope for the best, or you can wear the Classic BUG Tamer Plus with a lightweight layer underneath. If the weather is warm, as it often is when bugs are bad, you'll appreciate the breath-ability of this suit. The Classic BUG Tamer Plus also multi-tasks by incorporating Contain scent-control technology, which is impregnated into the fibers and cannot be washed or worn out. The outer layer, called 2X Strong Mesh, is tough and will resist tearing even in thick brush, as you might encounter while tracking a black bear. I really like the face shield on this suit. The portion you look through is black, and it is large enough to provide a wide, clear view and to allow you to wear a baseball-style cap underneath. That's important because the bill of the hat will hold the mesh away from your face so those mosquitoes can't bore into your schnoz schnoz also schnozzle n. Slang The human nose.

[Probably alteration of Yiddish snoyts, snout, muzzle, from German Schnauze.] Noun 1. while you're at full draw on a close-range trophy. The Classic BUG Tamer Plus is available in Mossy Oak New Break-Up, Advantage Timber, and Shannon Olive Drab. If you're looking for the ultimate in outline-breaking camouflage, try the Big Leaf BUG Tamer Plus suit with three-dimensional leaves sewn into the fabric. This suit is available in Mossy Oak New Break-Up and Advantage Timber. Accessories include a separate full hood and mittens with finger slots so you can shoot with your fingers outside the mittens. Underbrush The 3-D Leafy Bugmaster Suit from Underbrush provides excellent protection from bugs as well as concealment from the all-seeing eyes of the animals you hunt. The entire twopiece suit is covered with "Bug Blocking No-See-Um" mesh and 3-D leaf-cut strips, which helps to disguise your outline on stand or when hunting on the ground, even without a blind. The Head Cover has a built-in visor to keep the see-through netting away from your face and to shade your eyes from a low sun. This lightweight suit has elastic around some openings and drawstring closures around others to keep out the bugs. If economy is an important issue to you, the Underbrush 3-D Leafy Bugmaster is an excellent option. It comes in Mossy Oak New Break-Up or Obsession camouflage. Rynoskin

No bug suit will protect you from all the crawling and flying pests that intend to do you harm. Mosquitoes have long, needle-like beaks that can penetrate most fabrics, and ticks can crawl through the tiniest openings in your defense system. To add the coup de grace to their efforts, you can add one more level of protection in the form of Rynoskin underwear. This breathable, stretchable, ultra-thin, lightweight "skin" is virtually impervious to flies, ticks, chiggers chiggers Harvest mites, red mites Dermatology Larvae of the family Trombiculidae, genus Eutrombiculasouthern US, TrombiculaEurope which causes skin infestation Habitat Berry patches, tall grass, weeds, woods. Cf Chiggers. , gnats, and fleas and some users are reporting protection against mosquitoes as well. If you've ever sat squirming in a turkey blind while a wood tick wood tick see dermacentorandersoni. runs a marathon up your leg, you'll appreciate what Rynoskin can do for you. First, you won't feel the wood tick and, second, you won't have to worry about the tick's boring into you and taking up residence. The same goes for chiggers and fleas, and even if a starving buffalo gnat slips through your outer bug suit, it won't be able to bite through the Rynoskin and remove a chunk of your epidermis. This unique suit, with reinforced elbows and knees, is very soft and won't retain heat or water. Consider this your last line of defense against creepy crawlers and fliers that have every intention of reducing your bowhunting time. In short, the ultimate defense against bugs and other pests might be a layer of Rynoskin under one of the bug suits listed above. In very warm weather, such as during a September whitetail hunt, use only a lightweight mesh suit on top such as the BUG Tamer or Bugmaster, and you'll stay cool and bite-flee. In cooler weather, say while hunting caribou in Quebec or black bears in Manitoba, the Buglite G2 would be a good outer layer. Just add the necessary layers between your skin and the outer bug-resistant clothing, and you will stay comfortable and bite-free. The objective of the companies listed above is to keep you in the field no matter what airborne or crawling pestilence pestilence /pestilence/ (pesti-lins) a virulent contagious epidemic or infectious epidemic disease.pestilential

pestilence n. 1. Mother Nature throws your way. I'll admit to occasionally staying home from deer hunting in September when the mosquitoes in North Dakota are so horrendous I can barely hear myself think. But, then, that's one of the reasons many of us bowhunt--to get away from thinking. So slip on one of the bug-protection suits discussed here and head to the field. At least you'll be hunting comfortably. The thinking part is optional.
