Title: I'm Going To Need Karl To Come up With That 290 Muley Sunscreen Bug Spray Combo
Post by: highside74 on June 11, 2025, 12:17:31 PM: Lighting struck and I drew early Desert unit archery. I plan to take a number of trips over there between now and September 1. Not sure I'll be able to pass 160s like Karl but I'm going to give it heck. Luckily I have lots of vacation time and a flexible schedule. I'll do my best to keep everyone updated.

Post by: highside74 on June 13, 2025, 10:32:26 AM: I'm seriously thinking about trying my mesh turkey camo jacket. Should be cooler to wear and help with bugs.

Post by: Karl Blanchard on June 13, 2025, 10:58:40 AM: The sitka equinox line is supposed to be light weight and bite proof. I bought the quarter zip hoody. It most certainly IS NOT bite proof. Don't waste your money. Just accept the fact you will wear copious amounts of bug spray. That stuff will eat the snot out of your bow strings though so make sure your bow is clear of the over spray 😬

Post by: MeepDog on June 13, 2025, 02:07:06 PM: If you go against the guidelines and use permethrin while it’s still wet it will keep them away. They’ll literally fall over dead if they land on you.

Post by: highside74 on June 13, 2025, 03:47:30 PM: Lol I wasn't expecting all this mosquito help when I started this thread. Haha. I should have known you guys would be eager to help.

I was just trying to figure out a funny way of saying I drew the same tag as Karl did.

I'll definitely be scouting a few times and already plan a 7-9 or so day hunt with as many extra 3 day weekends as I need to get the tag filled. I plan on hunting the 1st week and the last 4 days of the season and both 3 day weekends in between. 180 plus or bust...ish

Only a perfect few are immune to mosquitos!
