My LEAST favorite time of year. Not whining though.

Caught the first wood tick of the year last week. Won't be long and the flies and mosquitoes(and grasshoppers...) will be wrecking havoc once again. Last edited by SamOlson; 04/23/24.

I hate bugs! I have a few more days of killing Beaver for the county left and then I can start thinking about walleyes, boats and beer. I am always looking for factory wood stocks!

My buddy who ranches in Lakeview Oregon likes this time of year. It’s the dead of winter he hates. I do appreciate Sam’s summer time pictures and posts though. Last edited by BMT; 04/23/24.
