OMG These things are nasty! I went out Sunday morn and doused myself in OFF. I hunted a county park on the lake, at 9 am there were little kids and a couple brave souls on the beach. In 2 hours I dug 5 or 6 wheats and a silver quarter. In this same park I dug a sweet 2-cent and nice dated slq. The skeeters got an ounce of blood and I got silver.
