[skeeter@ccia.com]

Well pa hunting season is moving along. Archery and now black powder. So far, I had deer walking to me on stand and oh oh, I forgot to turn cell phone to vibrate only...ring...guy that has not called in a month..off deer run...then next time, using radios because this guy hunting with wont spend $ on a cell phone..I keep radio in shirt pocket and down low but for some reason laid it on bag beside me, looked up, 2 deer walking 15 yds right at me, I aim xbow, wait for their turn broadside, shhhh..rick you there?..hey rick, answer radio..well the deer run off on that one..all day guy never spoke on radio other than quick contact points..murphys law? Only neede another 30 seconds..just yesterday, ticks were so bad while still hunting the windy day,I swear i removed total of 150 on me..and..at one point, stopped, started picking ticks off clothes, looked up at 2 deer 25 yds watching me...probably wishing they could do that..but never got shot at them..I wont shoot while they straight on..oh and hit a little twig once with arrow and I even had path cleaned out that spot..just guess had fallen during the night..lots other happenings too that I add to the murphys law thing...but is enough here..Want to get back out monday but not sure want to deal with the tick problem...removed one that burried in arm few days ago..didn't find that one soon enough..but..freezor empty, gotta work on that..maybe end up with side of beef instead of some speed beef....How are the ticks in your areas and how do you deal with them..I wash clothes in hot water (not suppose to kill them) but use borax..is suppose to help kill them...but the kicker is toss in dryer at hottest heat for over an hour...that is suppose to kill them on clothing..
