Who is itching?

[Hitemnasty]

Guys, if you dress right for scouting you’ll hardly ever get a chigger. I’ve seen hundreds on me just about every year and no bites! They live in swarms and you’ll brush by a bush and they all cling on in the same spot, usually the size of a big bottle cap. I check every so often and I’ll scrape the swarm off with my machete.  

Heres my proven method  

Rubber boots with heavy twill pants tucked in, shirt tucked into pants. Pants are treated with permethrin and I spray just my waistline and hat with Off. The key to this whole thing is you must change your clothes before you get into your truck. If you don’t they have a lot more time to get on you, crawl into your truck to get you the next time. Only part I need to watch for them is my arms and I sometimes have to pull off a few. 

Oh and chiggers are smarter than that....

The cool air felt great this morning

RID usually does the trick, but these days I stay away from strip clubs & Admiral Wilson Blvd.

I'll be in my ground blind in the PM. I took this shot at 40 yds yesterday to check if the crossbow is still on. I'm ready.

Me too!

Those little bastards got me two weeks ago and I'm still itching

Yep, me too.  I swear they're becoming permethrin resistant and I don't foresee a frost anytime soon.

Same here.  Besides, the guy I give deer to probably isn't taking them yet.  I won't shoot any until he's ready.

I shoot does with fawns. And before I’m blasted two seasons ago shot a doe with fawns in my backyard spot field and field dressed my doe packed her up, and inside drinking coffee a doe with one fawn comes out and took the two fawns with her.

It is legal so have fun and do what makes you happy.  I only need one deer for me so plenty of time to fill my needs so I am more picky. Good luck, hope you score early.

I can't focus, it's all i can think about. am hunt zone 8! 

[Huntingdude]

I’ll be out in 8 or 6 or z7. I never know where I’m going to end up until I get in my truck. It all depends on the wind and weather to where I’ll go. I won’t even sleep tonight.

I used a topical cream and the itching stopped.

Stop paying. Sex for cash = rash.
