Thread: fly spray

I carry a can of this..... https://nzsafetyblackwoods.co.nz/en/...l-each--173967
After gutting the deer I spray the outside of the carcase ( skin on) and give a quick spray inside the body cavity. I figure if its good enough and safe enough to use in food manufacturing its good enough to use on the hill.
Did an experiment a few years back. Blazing hot summers day, shot a fallow deer and while gutting it the first blow flies were on scene. Dropped the gut bag about a metre away from the deer, sprayed the carcase with Slay and then had a brew and lunch and watched. Blowies would fly to the carcase, do a uturn without landing and go settle on the gut bag......continued hunting for a couple of hours and went back to pick the deer up.....carcase hadnt been blown at all but the gut bag was covered in eggs.

Btw, it is a similar spray that they used to walk down the aisle in aircraft and spray to kill bugs. ( The aircraft spray is called Arandee and differs only in that the propellant is non inflamable)
