RE: Ticks and biting bugs
My grampa used to say " The bugs are so bad, I had to cut a hole in the seat of my pants to keep the gnats out of my face" .
Where I hunt here in Florida, I use toxic levels of Deep woods off and Rhino skin clothing under my hunting clothes. I dont have as much problems with the ticks and mosquitos as I do the biting noseeum sand gnats. Bug spray doesnt seem to repel these pesky critters. Then theres the five venomous snakes and the alligators. (I shot a gobbler on a logging road two years ago and it flopped into a 5 ft. deep water filled ditch. By the time I got up to where the bird went in, a 6ft gator had nailed it and was swimming away with my 25lb plus trophy. Damn lizards! Anyone up for a swap hunt?
