Chiggers

[mdcrossbow]

One bug I seem to always get bit by a few times while setting stands.

I wore my hip waders last time out.

Any one get them this year?

mdcrossbow...not too bad here this year. I dont get bit by them much, and I think its cuz I eat a LOT of garlic in my diet...they say eating a lot of it helps keep chiggers n ticks to a minimum.

You'd think I'd learn to be preventative but get a few every late summer...miserable.

...wear the Sam Adams shorts.

Good Idea...they are missing, I think they might have been stolen......I'll have to make another pair.


everyone, please keep an eye out for these:

What kind of camo is that?

If there's holes in the knees a guy should shred those pants and make a ghillie face mask out of them.

I call this pattern "Mud Runners". The earthy overtones really blend in.

Here's another way to help stop the little devils along w/ no-seeums & skeeters.It's gonna sound crazy but works.
Mix apple cider vinegar & raw honey 1/2 & 1/2 in a jar.Every morning or night take a table spoon of this concoction.It really does work plus makes you feel better all over,good for your joints & blood.Believe me we got some badass chiggers down here in Ga.& I never have a probl. w/ them due to my voodoo concoction.
