[QUOTE="Jabberwockey, post: 691724, member: 18238"] Well, only about ten ticks total this time and not a one actually latched on. Apparently, last time we went was at just the right time for that "perfect storm" of ticks. I met a friend there who will be hunting with me and we walked the property. It was his first time there. After he left, I spent about two hours weed eating a path from the road back to the blackberry patch. Next time I will make a path through the blackberries. The nice thing is, this friend repairs old mowers and such as a side business and is going to leave a mower out there for me to use and even has a lawn tractor that might suit us that he will let me make payments on. He also has a camper that he no longer uses on his lake lot that he is going to bring out for deer season so we have a place to take a break and get warm/dry depending on the weather. Lil asked me just a little bit ago what I want to do tomorrow. I'm bouncing between a round of golf and going back to the property to do some more work. I never got a chance to start cutting down the massive amount of new honey locust trees that are lining the road. For those of you not familiar with honey locust trees, the seed pods are apparently very sweet (hence the honey part of the name) but they have thorns on them that will grow upwards of 4 or more inches long on an adult tree. These thorns will take out tractor tires which are thicker than standard car tires. They are even poisonous. Not to the point of being lethal but can cause severe discomfort well beyond being stabbed by a 4 inch thorn. I will leave the adult trees on the property alone but the ones along the road must die!!! [/QUOTE]
