By mesquitos!!! This would have been our third trip out to the ranch to bust some doves, never had any issue with it before.
But for some reason this time there were swarms of these little devils everywhere, it was so bad we couldnt even hunt. You would look down and have no less than 15 on your arms and another 20 on your back.
What could have caused this sudden outbreak, all that rain a couple weeks back?

i just heard of this sunday from a guy i hunt with he said that if you get a squirt bottle fill it up with half listerine (the original not the mint or any other flavor) and half water then whereever your hunting spray all around the area it clears the skeeters out they wont come near you and its eco frindely. dont know if it works but im going to find out this weekend

Yes. Everywhere you see a small puddle of water standing, is probably where the eggs where waiting on water. After a few days, they hatch and you've got the Louisiana official state bird all around you.
Did you stay around Hood or did you travel south?

I headed about an hour south, Burnet county just south of Marble Falls.

After the teal hunt Saturday I was sitting in church Sunday and counted 48 bites on just my hands. That will be the last time I forget the bugspray at home!

Texas Heat was pretty well known here...in fact if it wasnt for your post count I would have thought you were him. The Fort Hood thing was really the reason I knew it wasnt the other guy. Anyway he got banned from this site I think but I always liked him.

Haven't had it in years but never spit any out. I am a sucker for happy endings and strapped cowboys.
