Turkey Hunting Whether it's spring or fall doesn't matter to this bunch. Great tips on calling, bustin flocks, using blinds and more.

Default Warning To All

When turkey hunting...and leaning on a tree as a backrest...

MAKE SURE YOU'RE NOT PUTTING YOUR BACK DIRECTLY ONTO A MESS OF POISON IVY!!!

I went out last weekend...and now I have it all over my backside from left to right...I'm miserable.

I think I'm gonna go get some steroid shots this weekend from the clinic to make it go away.

I looked like a diseased little man. Poison ivy rash all over me.

Yall be careful, I don't wish this on anyone. (oh btw, poison ivy is the three leaved plant that is probably EVERYWHERE you are in the woods. Use precaution.)

I feel for you.
When I was 10 years old I had it real bad.
All over me and in my eyes.
I had to have shots of some kind for 3 weeks.

Be carefull

i feel for ya, when i was a kid i could drive by poison ivy in the car and i would manage to get it.and yes i have had it everywhere. my eyes, ummm down.....well you know.. everywhere. poison ivy, poison oak, poison sumac.had it alli would do the shots the steroid packets and all the creams. now the crazy thing is i can go out today and roll around in it and wont bother me atall.the doctor says its just an allergie to the body, same as allergies you getfrom pollen you can grow in and out of it. I just hope i dont grow back intopoison ivy allergy.

I've literally crawled on all fours in the stuff when coming up out of a river and didn't get a single spot on me.
