Guest deldeer Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 what is the most annoying thing in the woods to you ?????? (snakes, bugs, ect.)...to me it has to be the chigger. i can't think of anything more ignorant then a chigger!!!!!...i think it was the "good lords" idea of a bad joke !!!!...their only pupose is to eat you alive!!! these things will drive you crazy , i had them so bad i had to go to the doctor and get a perscription to get rid of them. i was on the porch at two in the morning scratching my legs on the concrete steps.i was covered from my ankles to my armpits, my wife found it rather funny though .....i was a little uneasy going back in the spring woods for awhile after that......

IowaDeerHunter Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 Re: most annoying... Re chiggers those little black bugs? If so my dad calls them the little SOB bugs. For me it WOULD be snakes although never seen any yet(knock on wood) but it would have to be any sort of bugs, I guess. Spiders, mosquitoes, black bugs.

Guest bronco_mudder Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 Re: most annoying... I don't know what a chigger is, but it sounds bad. I hate sand flies, and black flies those little bugs will leave you covered in blood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldawg Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 Re: most annoying... I hate those little no-see um gnats! I got into some chiggers while in the service, and nail polish remover gets them baby's out from in the skin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palssonater Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 Re: most annoying... Never really knew what a chigger was. I always saw that muskol protects against them though. We have horseflies and sandflies......they take a chunk right out of you. I have seen a horsefly draw blood. Unreal..... Oh and of course, mosquitoes that will bite your scalp through your hat, and your arse through your pants....All comes with swamp hunting....

Alisha Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 Re: most annoying... Since I mainly only hunt during rifle season, I don't have to deal with all the bugs, etc....... so my major complaint would have to be the squirrels and chipmunks. Nothing more annoying than one of them running through the leaves making all kinds of racket. *shakes fist at them* There have been a few times where I hadn't seen any deer for a day or so and mr. fox squirrel(s) shows up. Soooooo tempting to shoot them as you don't see them very often. I'm sort of glad I don't hunt much during the early part of fall seeing as how I get bit ALL the time by mosquitos outside of the woods. I'm just too sweet I guess......

Guest Andrea Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 Re: most annoying... MOSQUITOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nothing worse than trying to be still and your blood is being drained from you. Oh yeah, and also...hunting dogs or just dogs in general that chase your deer off before you get to see anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HuntingInMaine Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 Re: most annoying... I am with Alisha on the squirrels and chipmunks. It's ok until you make eye contact with them, then they won't go away and seem to think it is their duty to let the rest of the forest know you are there....wonder if they have a deal with the deer? LOL Last year I was sitting on the ground, leaning up against a stone wall. I felt like someone was looking at me, so I turned to see a squirrel about 3 inches from my face. I don't know who was scared more, him or me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
