Seriously? It's Florida!
Actually, it'll depend on the temp and the wind. But yeah, they can be out even when it's pretty cool (for us, anyway).

Folks swear by them. I just bought one but haven't tried it out yet. I've poisoned myself with DEET for so long I think I'll probably go through withdraw if I don't slather it on next time I'm in a stand.

Wouldn't hurt. I'll let you know when I give mine a try. I'll probably slip out sometime next week. The ladies group at church want to have a Preacher Procured Pork BBQ, so I have my marching orders. And you don't say "no" to the ladies group. Besides, it doesn't take much of an excuse to put me in the woods.

Blantons is from Ky.
Should be OK….. Which side was KY on during the War of Northern Oppression? KY ain't South. The FL Skeeters will eat you alive.  Kentucky had the distinction of providing two presidents during the WoNO, Jefferson Davis was from Kentucky, so was the other guy.

Sorry, but you wouldn't catch me dead at a table full of POMs like that. Good God...Ingwe is an Australian!
These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

I didn't think anyone from Montana would talk that way. Bet he puts milk in tea and drinks Fosters.

If he posts a picture of himself wearing thongs, stubbies, and a blue singlet...we've got him!
And if he also talks slow like he has only half a brain then he is a Queenslander.
...or Texan.
These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

By the way, Ingwe, you're a dog trainer, right? I don't want to hijack this thread any more than it already is, but what is the best dog to train to track but not give voice? Growing up my dad had hounds, but they're bred to bay. I raised and hunted with Chessies years ago, but they're not trackers by any stretch. I was thinking one of the continental utility dogs - you know, Wirehair or Visla or something like that - but not sure if they give voice on a game trail. What do you think?

I was thinking one of the continental utility dogs - you know, Wirehair or Visla or something like that - but not sure if they give voice on a game trail. What do you think? A number of dogs, barring hounds, don't give voice on a track. Here are my two faves of all time..the one and only Ingwedog: ![[Linked Image]](http://i560.photobucket.com/albums/ss45/thmsbrownlee/y.jpg) And Foxy- dachshund X Fox Terrier we used a bunch in Africa. ![[Linked Image]](http://i560.photobucket.com/albums/ss45/thmsbrownlee/003_3-1.jpg) So you see a number of non-traditional breeds work. The key is having an obedient dog, tracking comes naturally to them with minimal guidance.
