I'm in for another. Any day works for me.
 

Daughter coming in with husband and 3 kids - departure date unknown - availability as yet uncertain. Will keep watching this thread with fingers crossed! :)
 

Who ever is going to have one PM with the details.......
 

I'd like to get down with you guys, haven't seen a few of you in a minute or two.

Yeah, keep me posted too!

My poisen ivy has finally cleared up so I'm down for some huntin, keep me posted!!! It sucked, this was my worst ivy attack yet - starting at my finger tips all up both arms half way up to my shoulders, on my neck and face and ears and some on both of my hips!!! The damn'd thing is that I was wearing gloves, a teeshirt, sweater, jeans, and a hat with my headphones!!! I could see getting it on my face (forhead and nose) as that was the only spot that wasn't covered but man I looked like I was a burn victim. Also I remember sayin something like "I think I am getting immune to it"... :laughing9: :laughing9: :laughing9:
 

Be careful, Kermit. Things I learned on line:

The reaction caused by poison ivy, urushiol-induced contact dermatitis, is an allergic reaction. Around 15% to 30% of people have no allergic response, but most people will become sensitized with repeated or more concentrated exposure to urushiol, resulting in increasingly severe reactions. Reactions can progress to anaphylaxis.

Urushiol oil can remain active for several years, so handling dead leaves or vines can cause a reaction. In addition, oil transferred from the plant to other objects (such as pet fur) can cause the rash if it comes into contact with the skin. Clothing, tools, and other objects that have been exposed to the oil should be washed to prevent further transmission.
 

Kermit,

That sucks. When I hunt in the woods and get home, I always make sure that when I remove my clothes to take a shower, I don't touch any part of my body with the gloves or the outside of my clothes. Also, when you go to tie your shoes the day after a woods hunt, remember that you may be transfering the oils from your shoelaces to your fingers, then to your arms, etc. All it took was the one bad rash I had from the camp to be REALLY careful. Good luck buddy.

SO FAR ITS LOOKING LIKE THE TEMPATURES WILL BE IN THE LOW 40'S NEXT WEEKEND! :mblah05:
 

I can except low 40's as long as it doesn't rain. Was out all day Wednesday with Jon. 50* and raining, mud head to toe. Any colder and I would have called it quits.

We come up with a location yet, or should we PM suggestions, Tim?
 

Yep, no ideas on a spot myself, just wondering if we should mass attack somewhere and have fun!
 

Let's get something going here! I'm out no matter how cold it is! As long as there is no rain.
