Anybody else getting demolished by those dang little biting gnats?

I couldn't tolerate sitting in a tree stand right now even if I didn't mind hunting in the heat.
 
I'm with ya. Worst I can remember them. Welts all over me. So much worse than mosquito bites. Honey Creek / Crescent area.
 
They are bad right now for some reason. My son and I were trying to practice today in the back yard and they were swarming us to the point we just gave up for the day.
 
Did the ivory soap keep them away or kill the itch? Sounds good either way.

They stay away for the most part. And don’t use deodorant which I assume most aren’t if we are hunting. It’s just an old trick I learned hunting the “swamps/lowlands” in the Carolinas. We called them pecker gnats down there and if you showered with anything besides the ivory, they’d swarm you.
