Jon/John - Randy here in South Carolina.
The three "R's" (Randy, Ralph, and Robert) just returned from another great turkey hunt in [location deleted]. Thanks again to everyone at Mid-America Hunting for your assistance. Although the Wx was difficult with rain, thunderstorms, and high winds for all but a couple of hunt days, we had a successful hunt. We found turkeys on all the properties we visited and managed to get our birds. We saw plenty of deer and heard pheasants and quail doing their morning and evening calls. The turkeys were gobbling on the roost and very little after fly down except for a few days when they really sounded off for several hours. Again, appreciate the work everyone on your staff do on behalf of the association.
When I first started hunting in your area the chiggers and the ticks were winning however I purchased some of the Buzz-Off clothing and it does appear to work. Previously, I always taped the pants at the ankles and use duct tape around the top of my boots plus a ton of bug spray before dressing and even tried soaking down with skin-so-soft in attempt to avoid the pests. However, this did not work 100% of the time. We always collected a fair share of pests. The past three we have managed to go chigger or tick free. The only difference is now we use the Buzz-Off clothing in additional to the measures mentioned above. Might pass it on for information but not an endorsement.
Attached are a few pics! Randy
Thank you Randy, Ralph, and Robert for showing what can get done during bad weather.
