Nice rifle.
Deer flies are horrible right now but should die out in a few weeks. Just don't go tramping in the tall grass.
Skeeters were horrible, a lot due to all the water from snow melt and the spring rains. You could get to with in 10 feet of the woods and hear them calling you co come give blood. Near 90F heat for 3 weeks had seemed to killed a bunch off and dried up the low areas.
