September 2nd - who's going?

I may go and get in a little early season scouting for deer too, and see if the acorns are going to be booming again this year.

Hopefully so

My son passed his Hunter Ed. at Quantico this past weekend, so we are going to break him into hunting via the squirrels at Phelps - can't wait.

That's where I'll be on opening day too, at the Phelps.

I'll be Phelps also - hopefully I won't get Lymes again this year like I did last year

Lyme disease? WTF! Where I grew up in NJ lyme is a huge problem, but I didn't think it was a plague down here. Did you contract it at the WMA?

I will be at phelps too. Squirrel, dove, scouting, clearing a few shooting lanes, shooting the xbow, and possibly smacking a september goose.

"Lyme disease? WTF! Where I grew up in NJ lyme is a huge problem, but I didn't think it was a plague down here. Did you contract it at the WMA?"

Yep, I got it at Phelps.Just be sure to take percautions, use deet on all exposed skin areas and permethrin on your cloths. Take a shower when you get home and check for ticks. If you do get it see an infectious disease specialist & you'll be fine.

M38, I'll be very careful!

Mitch, the dove and goose hunting sounds good. B-mail me if you want to join forces!
