Having hunted LBL several times, I' m guessing it was seed ticks that got you. Barely big enough to see. It' s not unheard of for folks to duct tape their shirt & pants cuffs in that part of the state while hunting in warm weather. First good frost usually does them in. A few years ago while bowhunting at West Kentucky WMA (near LBL), a fellow in camp showed me how bad his lower leg was after getting into them. It was ugly.

Sure is a neat place to be, isn' t it?
