I ended up at the doctors office and he thought bites. It was odd new ones kept popping up for several days so he did have me delouse with a pesticide ointment. :oops: Didn't start healing until week 2 but now gone. My guess is chiggers or something like it in the one field with tall weeds.

I thought of that. Especially since bumps kept appearing for 4 days. Im wondering if its mild shingles. I have a doctor appt today to try and get some answers.

Ill take anything over bed bugs. But Ive never had an allergy in my life and Im pretty sure these are bug bites. I think I got into something in one field. I was surrounded by tall fox tail looking weeds over my head and I was pushing hard. Birds were popping all over me and I was shooting and...

Thanks a lot gim reaper! 😄

No rows and mostly on my hands and wrist. Arm, leg, neck. It doesnt add up to bed bugs.

I hunted this past weekend in west central Iowa. It got into the 70s on Fri and 60s on Sat. I am finding bug bites from head to toe. They started popping up yesterday. I was afraid of bed bugs in the cheap motel I stayed however my wife slept next to me 2 nights in a row and she has nothing...

Just look for a Super 8. They all take dogs. The one in Spirit lake had 5 cars in the lot when we stayed there two weekends ago. Basically empty.

I assume like other states, access is the driving factor. Access to good hunting ground is not getting easier. Its getting harder.

My youngest chases after it unless I yell or shock her......

If you can aim for and hit mostly the head I would say its a good option for eating and dispatching the bird. Assuming its safe. I hunt with dogs so I normally don't have the option. I think I took my first one two years ago. Pheasants are damn hard to come up on in that position. Grouse on...

Probably taking my 14 yo for some ditch hunting this weekend. Limited hunt. It will be fun/sad watching her. I thought she was retired 2 years ago but just keeps going.

There's a good chance Im taking my 14 yo Pudelpointer out this weekend. It will be light duty but I would LOVE to see her point one last time. She was actually the best bird retriever I have ever owned. Land and sea. My 5 yo Golden wont fetch birds anymore. Not sure if one hurt her or what...

My 2019 6.2 has 134K miles and its the best engine I have ever owned.

That heat kept me out of the Grouse woods. I hunted opening weekend in shorts at times. Skipped two more hot weekends and finally hunting good temps this weekend.

I'm surprised when I see a rural sign that isn't shot.
