freaky
Yesterday I was getting swarmed by mosquitos. I was actually watching one try to get through my shirt!! I know they normally can but it looked like the "tube" was bending so he flew to another spot. Nasty insects!! remind me to bring my thermacell next time.

That just makes them scarier than hell. I hope our weather isn't warm enough for the little pricks. When it is, I cover my skin and wear a inscent head cover. Still hate the buzzing tho. So far so good this year.

They about carried me away last night here in midstate michigan. I've got 10 bites within a 2 inch circle on the back of my left hand. That's just from holding my bow for the last few minutes of primetime! Temps in the 70's. [:'(]

RE: freaky
Gotta love mosquitos.....when I hunt early season, and the skeeters are bad, I keep my release hand up at face level the entire time so I can swat them away with my fingers, and not move a lot. The only opening where they can get me is around the eyes of the facemask. I hate those bugs....

RE: freaky
They completely tore me up last Sat. I had a bug suit on and everything and tehy were still getting to me through that. I am defenitely looking into getting a thermacell - I have heard some bad things about them but I guess anything is worth trying at this point. Weather is in the 90's here.
