Hi all, Haven't been on tnet for a little while. Last week I had 1 hunt where I got 20 deer tick crawling on me. Fortunately none bit. Pulled most off my pants in the woods and two more in the car, but I decided that I did not want to have night mares and worry with every head scratch, so I completely shaved my head/beard and am sporting a new look.

Took that new look into the woods today, not the tick site, but the site I pulled the 1899s dime a few weeks ago. I managed a 5 wheat, (19, 29, 39, 41x2); my second walking liberty half on the year ('41) and my second Barber Quarter on the year ('07). All in all a nice day, particularly with no ticks!

Yeah I'd shave the scalp but someone would mistake my gourd for a basketball and a game would break out in the middle of the woods...

Awesome finds!

I think it's from careless hunters dumping deer carcasses from another state in one of the woods.
