We have had a few dead crows here in Jamestown NY. They are confirmed West Nile Virus infected. They are urging people to use Bug sprays like Deep Woods Off with Deet, or similar products. I personally never wear shorts even in the summer. As for early bow season here. My gear all have long sleeves and heavy material. Good at keeping bugs out[8D]. I use a little spray to keep them off my face and neck. Hope we all make it through the season no worst for wear. Happy Hunting to all.
