I firmly believe spring turkey season is the most wonderful time of the year. (Sorry, Christmas! Move over.) Not only do I love the chance to get back in the woods after the long hiatus following deer season, but the spring woods are extra special. It\u2019s utterly fulfilling to watch the world wake up from its long winter nap, busting out in almost neon shades of green. And I haven\u2019t even started on what I love about chasing turkeys.<\/p>\n

However, the big challenge with spring, especially in the south, is that just as the trees and shrubs and grass are coming to life, so are the freakin\u2019 bugs. Sure warmer temps are nice, but the rising mercury also means you have to contend with mosquitoes, ticks, chiggers, and biting flies if you even step a toe outside.<\/p>\n

They all suck (quite literally). I loathe them. Biting bugs can turn an otherwise fine hunt into sheer torture at just about the same time the turkeys are flying down off the roost.<\/p>\n

Because I love turkey hunting but hate the buzzing, creepy-crawling, blood-sucking pests that accompany it, I was ready to do backflips of happiness when I learned about Forloh\u2019s Insect Shield line<\/a>, especially since the company is offering it in women\u2019s sizes right out of the gate.<\/p>\n

I got my hands on a pair of the Forloh Insect Shield Lightweight Pants<\/a> and Hooded Long Sleeve Shirt<\/a> and headed into the turkey woods to see if the duo could really ward off the swarms of ticks, mosquitoes, and chiggers I typically have to fight my way through in eastern North Carolina during April and May. Here’s my honest review of what has become some of my favorite insect-repellent hunting gear.<\/p>\n
