Are the jumping spiders those little woolly ones with the short legs? They generally amuse me, and I find them all my deerstands. They'll run around and play peekaboo with you. They enjoy driving my 8yr old crazy, and it's a wonder we see anything after a spider shows up. She's about ready to bail out after that.....
Any other spider besides a longlegs or those little woolly buggers, and I'd rather be dealing with a snake. Spiders are the devil.....
Now with even more aplomb

Only spiders I like are jumping spiders.
Had big barn funnel web dude in rose bed by front door.
Whopper.
I let him be until the ol lady said a medium one got in the house............so the other got the spray.
Lots of orb weavers..............don't like them, but leave them alone unless they set up shop on the house and crap everywhere. Gotta love when walking thru overgrown field pheasant hunting and get a giant orb weaver right in the face.

Black widow venom ain't that bad. Far from some of the most toxic stuff. Damn rare that it kills anymore with modern medicine. When someone dies it's usually cause the heart gives out in response to the pain as a bad bite will force all your skeletal muscles to cramp up all at once. Won't kill you 99.99% but you may spend bout 24 to 36 hours begging someone to kill you but rarely has lasting effects.
Only critter I'm remotely paranoid over is ticks but that took one of the lil [bleep] giving me a nasty bacteria with it's bite.

Yeah don't make webs. Had a large one decide to.call my bedroom home at one point, would watch him stalk flies all the time, kept to himself patrolling where the walls and ceiling met. Usually take him 2 hours to make the circuit around if he didn't find anything.

I see the occasional Black Widow when out in the barn, or greenhouse, or around an old wood pile. But, it's those damn Brown Recluse that I hate. We even have those in the house. I've sprayed, set out glue boards, but about once a year we'll see one. The outbuildings are full of them. and I spray them too. An exterminator told me that they are in every house, and about all that spraying does is just drive them deeper into the woodwork. I found glue boards most effective. I put them against base boards in a dark place.

Parked my truck under a hawthorn bush earlier this year before walking to the stand. Got out, changed into hunting gear and started walking, felt something on my neck, brushed it aside, kept walking. Then I felt it again and kind of swatted/rolled my hand across it and whatever it was scampered up my arm. I saw it wacked it without thinking and slung it on the ground.
Turned out to be a grape sized black widow, the biggest I have ever seen. How it didn't bite my neck or hand I have no clue. Went on to the stand and upon coming back to the truck, right over my door was her ugly mess of a web. WTH she was doing there I have no clue but got quite lucky I reckon.

I'm a landscaper as well, and stick my hands into hundreds of valve boxes a year with black widows. Turn over all manner of things with black widows. This one freaked me out good because it was so big, and it would have been right in my armpit if I'd have slung that bag over my shoulder with a tanktop on, like I normally do when I head down to the river. Now I gotta bomb the garage.
To answer some of the posts-
Yes, I had shoes on.
Any of you internet heroes wanna head down I bet we can find another one. Let me cram it in your armpit and you tell me how that works out for you.
I’ll stick to deodorant. Thanks

My three year old had a brown recluse crawling on him. He didn’t scream.

Glass, spot something , make a move if needed using terrain , make the shot. Be in good physical shape for some possible serious humping. We probably would have to put about 6- 8 clicks of elevation on our rigs for some better distance and play the wind also. Remember us hayseeds that hunt eastern whitetails have it way too easy😃😃😃 I’ve been seriously humping for months. It s cost me two inches in the waist too.

Well, i was going to try and post some pics of my Babe jumping out of the truck the other day and landing by a freaking 4 foot rattler but fuggit. I was driving down the old pipeline toward the Pecos and that sob was hauling ass llike crazy just right near ahead of my drivers tire when i saw it. Now did that sucker go crazy hauling ass because it saw, heard, or felt my truck approaching? Second time ive seen that in my life. Anyone else seen such?
Anyway, i was too close to stop before i was onit so i hit the brakes a bit as it pulled to the left to hit it. I went on a bit so i was passed it before stopping so when my son stepped out he wouldnt be on it. The ground was soft post rain and when son got out it was halling tail for brush by the riggt of way. Son fired at it and i guess a few pellets hit its head and addled it . I got out knowing it was history way behind the truck. Of course Babe bailed to go for quail. Dayom snake was just behind the truck coiled. I guess it had struck and hung to something and rode forward with us. As Babe went behind truck to go with son she was going to run over snake. Dayom. Im hollering at her to get back and shes wondering wtf is wrong with me and watching me and trying to walk over that dayomed rattler. I jumped and bumped her with my gun barrel to keep her off the snake and shes thinking ive gone apeschitt crazy (like ASniper). Dayom. Got my nerves on edge for sure.
