One of my favorite places to shoot in south Jersey is the Forsythe NWR in Oceanville. I really enjoy shooting there in March, and April and May. However, when June rolls around, the area is beseiged by green head flies and no matter how hard I try to keep them out of my car and away from my person, they make my life ****! I've not been able to locate a repellent that helps... Last year I came home from a 2 hr jaunt around the drive with literally hundreds of bites! It took me several weeks to recover....
Because this time of year really is prime viewing for a variety of birds including osprey and their young, I really don't want to miss it. I know I'm going to invest in a "bug suit" from Cabela's for sure. But I know one or 2 will probably still get through my defenses so if someone knows of a repellent that works, I'd be forever grateful!
