If you’ve got standing water in the bottoms like we have, my guess is you’re gonna have them also

All of this describes a normal spring for me :bounce: . I tried shooting Thursday evening at dark and couldnt because the skeeters are so freaking bad. And a week ago we had big chunks of hail pounding about 500 new and used cars here at the store. My house is only 3 miles away and it missed me there so the new roof didnt get it.

Is there a big sale on new cars now? facepalm:

Glad it didn't get the new roof! I never understood why skeeters were so bad in areas that have a long cold winter. :huh: I know y’all had some bad cold temps this past winter.

Yeah the winters dont seem to help with black flies and ticks and skeeters seems like there's no rhyme or reason on when they will be bad, but when they get bad you may as well stay indoors.

Not enough damage for insurance to step in because it's all paint-less dent repair at about $400 a car which means we are paying for it out of our pockets on each deal :(

Ticks n sketters on my property here in central Ga are bad too , I decided to walk 100 yards to my food plot and sit in the box stand for the last half hour of daylight .I forgot to spray and the skeeters swarmed me as soon a I got there and ran me back to camp , I picked 2 ticks off my legs after I got back.i plan to mow the plot tomorrow and gonna have to take a bath in deep woods off !!

We are tick eaten and weary this morning

Having coffee at barn and then headed to breakfast - big rain in the next two hours.

Got 10 cams out so far and one stand up.

This farm is incredibly grown up in weeds and invasives.
