I'd rather have a King Cobra wrapped around my neck than have a unsuspected encounter with a large spider.

We have these damn "banana" spiders(or at least that's what I call them)in the fall here in Jersey. They're as big as golf ball, and sit in the middle of their webs that stretch as far as 10 ft or so in between trees. It's down right horriffic, and you never know you ran into one until the web stretches around your face and the banana spider(wish I new the real name)is grasped around your nostrils.

.............the only reaction is torun like a big sissy, flailing your arms likle your on fire, .......and zig zagging through trees in humiliation from your buddies.

Disgusting to say the least[:'(].....................Did I mention how much I could benchpress?.


Is this the same one you're talking about? They're a variety of Orb-Weaver,Argiope aurantia. Growing up, everyone referred to them as "garden spiders" or "banana spiders". Most of the webs you run into in the woods are a different variety of Orb Weaver. I know they creep you out, but they're harmless. I don't like spiders either, but it would take one enormous spider to keep me out of the woods. Those "Camel Spiders" I saw in Saudi Arabia might do it. Believe me, there ain't nothin' here in the states that'll make you lose sleep like these:

Little Chief,

was that 2 spiders? As if you guys didn't have enough to worry about over there. I always walk with a stick waving in front of me on morning hunts. I may looked stupid but its better then screaming like a little girl and messing up my hunt.

We found this one hitching a ride in our boat on a camping trip this summer. These guys will pop up out of the sand at night and are pretty quick! lol

I read somewhere that no matter where you are there are at least 13,000 spiders per square acre. Cheers!

We found this "little" guy hitching a ride in our boat on the Wisconsin river.
It's difficult to tell the size in the pic but he was about the diameter of an old
50 cent piece.

Harmless?!?!?!? LC, see pigirons description above .... not only is running through the woods in said manner dangerous, as you might tend to do a George of the jungle impersonation, but the humiliation to the freek friends I have that aren't creeped out ........

I hate walking through the woods and having that web wrap around my face. Pretty much drop everything and start smacking my face. Get into the habit of holding your bow out in front of you.
