Dan Andrews Posted May 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 This last one is of the ultimate blind. There are 10-15 year old trees in it's tracks so it's been there awhile. Unfortunately the bathroom doesn't work anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ron4blues Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 Superbowl XXV was 1991. So that bus has been there a while. That was the game lost in the last second by Scott Norwood who missed a field goal attempt that would have won it. So your bus isn't just a good blind, its a little piece of history, probably parked there by some dejected Bill's fan who couldn't bear to be reminded.

Dan Andrews Posted May 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 great post Dan, i hope you fed that 6 legged blood sucker to the nuthatch. 8 legged; they're an arachnid! I picked about twenty off me in the tree and they reached my neck just as Tom showed up across the field. No way I could sit still. When I got back to the car I picked off about another 20. As soon as I removed my coat they made a beeline for my neck. I itch for days after a hunt like that but I just can't stay out of the field. Coachman I thought of that as soon as I saw the bus. That must have been a lonely trip back over the border after that game. It looks like the cab has been occupied by coyotes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninepointer Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 Dan, Now that I've seen your pic of that bus, I can better appreciate the shotgun "acoustics" issue you have with that location! Do you always bring a piece of tail with you into the woods? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you always bring a piece of tail with you into the woods? The vented barrel does not help either. I keep the tail on hand and pin it to my deer decoy or target deer. Just makes it look more believable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Andrews Posted May 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 I got several more when I got home. Did the laundry and hung it up and picked another 6 off the clean camo and clothes line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_feelgood Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 I loved the outdoors, until I took sick and really can't see why anyone would put themselves in a situation that might make them really sick. Lyme tests come back negative more often than not, unless you wanna pay $600 USD for a good blood test. I got sick just after visiting Navy Island. I did the tick looksee , never spotted and but I have all the symptoms of it. Did the test.....came back negative ( go figure ) I am by no means anti hunting, just anti putting yourself at risk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smerchly Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 Well said doc , our medical system is falling behind the world . I am losing confidence in our health care & know a few of my friends who went to the USA for tests & mri's etc . It would be worth the $$$ to get tested in the USA . & our OHIP should help pay , & you pay the difference in costs . Many of us spray /rub bug repellant on our skin for black flies & mosquitos . That stuff should work for tics also ? I have fished & hunted for over 40 yrs. & have never noticed a tic on my skin or clothes . I would not be hunting if I could not keep those blood sucking little varmits away from me ! They give me the willies . I don't think turkeys have a good sense of smell so the repellant shoudn't interfere with the hunt .....but having bugs crawling up my neck will have me dancing and the turks flying in two directions !

ron4blues Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 I recall a Warrant Officer we had when I was in the military. We'd be in the field swatting flies and being miserable even though we were bathed in DEET. The bugs never seemed to bother him. One day I got around to asking him why. He told me it was garlic! He claimed that he ate about a full bulb of fresh garlic every day (cooked in his meals of course). So I tried it myself. I can't claim to eat a full bulb a day, but I use a lot of it. I can't recall when I last had a bug bite. I don't know if it will repel ticks, but mosquitoes and black flies don't seem to care for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use garlic in everything I cook, no bloodsuckers, but I never really had a problem with them. Angelo says only Deet with stop them from biting.

smerchly Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 You can buy garlic paste in a jar . You can spread it on your peanut butter sandwhich or rub it on your bod & clothing if you wish . You will have to get used to living alone though ........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron4blues Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 I'll pass on the garlic body wash, thanks. But a clove or two in a pot of chili or a beef and broccoli stir-fry is sooo good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishkid Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 So apparently this thread has turned into iron chef niagara, but I have to agree with what makes hunting so great. Everything except those stupid ticks. I was finding them poking around 3 days after I was out on friday! I found one lounging in my hat when I was grocery shopping on monday. P.S. NOT the same hat I was wearing friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smerchly Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 This makes me feel paranoid , talking about ticks . I know they are out there where I fish but I haven't seen one yet . I have been working in the yard & garden and have a bite on my arm , a little itchy & a small bump . I have been bitten by black fies here & possibly a spider or other insect . The problem is , it "could" be a tick . There are a LOT more deer in Niagara now & as Chili's vid.showed , mice can carry the Lymes disease .....and I saw a mouse under a 6 x 6 in the yard today . If there are no symptoms showing on the skin , one wouldn't have a clue if infected until sickness set in & even then you would have to suspect Lymes disease & push the doctor for tests . They call Lupis a disease of a thousand faces.......and Lymes disease seems to be more complicated . It's a hard call to suspect one might have this disease & harder yet to confirm ....... btw ....game birds are lousy ....meaning , they have lice which some may think are ticks .I believe ticks go for animal/human skin rather than birds .....but I'm not sure on that one either ! I'm going to be itchy all night......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigugli Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 I've picked a few ticks off so far, but I don't think I've been bit yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smerchly Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 Why not garlic and peanut butter? Ever try peanut Satay?Chicken Satay with Peanut Sauce That recipe looks good ! And it is healthy as well . It said to soak the skewers in water (to keep from burning) . I have metal ones that eliminates that problem & I believe the metal skewers pick up a lot of heat & help cook the inside faster . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
