A bird in the hand, as they say. Beautifull country, love the photos. How is the tick situation up there?
I’d say the ticks are not as prevalent as around St. Louis, MO, at least this year, but I’ve been careful. I’ve found one on me now and then, still crawling, but not many. Will see what mid summer brings. Few black flies and mosquitos too. Spring has been dry.
Interesting.
Down here in Connecticut, I'm having a horrible spring with ticks. Can't ever remember them being this bad. I've been through 4 of the big cans of Sawyer Permethrin spray already. If there is a chance an article of clothing might get worn on a quick hike, a scout, or hunt, it gets sprayed down. Also did the seats and carpet in my truck.
Those little red efts sure are cute. They are so incredibly docile, I've never seen one scurry away or quickly bury itself in the leaf litter on approach.
As I said elsewhere, congratulations and great job on both the bird and the gun.
