21 days to go here in the bluegrass. Treestands and blinds are set, shooting lanes are cut. If it don't rain tomorrow going to hang my hunting clothes out and spray-email down with permethrin to keep skeeters, chillers & ticks away. Hope to fill my freezers with deer, turkey & squirrels-n-such

Why are you spraying permethrin so early? It will be ready to be sprayed again in about 21 days. I spray mine a couple of days before the season opens. Never been busted yet by doing so. The smell goes away when it dries.

I'm going to wait and treat my gear on the 1st of Sept. I buy the stuff by the quart at 38.6% and dilute it down to .51% and use a tank sprayer to spray my gear.

Archery only Sept 1st to 10th opening here. I'm starting to get a little twitchy. Every second evening I keep seeing the same 4 pt. mulie gamboling in the buck brush near my house. He's gotten used to seeing me, so it should be a short and sweet hunt. :twisted:

Season opening in 4 days (25 Aug) here. WT, Mulies, Elk, Moose and Sheep........................but I am not in a festive mood about it. All my stuff is in storage and I am temporarily in an apartment in Crowsnest Pass (Blairmore AB) until my house being built, is finished (end Oct). So I am lacking critical ingredients like a garage to hang and cut animals, a freezer to put them in and other stuff that I forget to take with me that ended up in storage. Oh well.........haven't even shot by bows for over a month now :!: Despite the minor first world problems I'm going through.................I KNOW I am blessed :D Happy hunting everyone :!: :!: :!:
