Default Something To Ponder

As Turkey season approches, and we get in the woods.
There is something we don't want to step, or sit on.
It could turn a good day into a really bad day.

Can you see what it is?

I'm non reactive to poison ivy so not really that big a deal to me. The only thing I worry about is bringing it home to my family.

I used to get it, but for the past 14 years or so, I've been able to rip it out when I see it and haven't reacted to it.
