We don't have any chiggers here, not sure what they are even.

Imagine if the devil was smaller than a pin-head, and loved to bite you and suck your blood burrowing it's head into your skin like a tick. And itching worse than anything else ever. Now imagine dozens of those all over you up under your clothes and everything. That's what chiggers are.

We don't have any chiggers here, not sure what they are even. I've only seen a hand full of mosquitoes, and only around the water troughs, and have only found 1 tick on the dog in 4 years. What we do have in abundance here is yellow jackets, hornets and rattlesnakes. We eat outside a lot until late summer when the yellow jackets get too thick. I do all the cooking outside on the barbeque or in the smoker.

Chiggers are a type of tiny mite . They inject an enzyme into the skin and feed off the decaying tissue. They itch like fire. Here in Tn we have all of the above. Lots of ticks mosquitoes and both rattlesnake and lots of copperheads (snake).

They can keep them. I've never understood they hype about wings.

Maybe we will start seeing some good sells at the stores in the near future.

 

[jimLE]

Someone on a diff site pointed out.that a great deal of the wings.are for restaurants. because of that reason alone.we might not see those in the stores.

but yet.im thinking.they could get repackaged. then sent to the stores.

That’s horrible! And possibly evil... fried chicken wings are one of the greatest things in life! I’ve never liked the ones dripping in sauce though. It’s a shame to mess up a perfectly fried piece of chicken...

 

[Arcticdude]

Nope. But we do get some annoying nats for a couple weeks after the snows gone. They like going in my eyes and ears while I'm working on the fence.

Never been a big wing fan myself. But my wife is.

No matter what kind of bird, chicken, goose, duck or turkey...THE WINGS BELONG TO MY WIFE. I only get to touch them long enough to put them on her plate...no problem. I like breasts and thighs like any real man...GP

I hated chiggers more than anything, I started wearing pantyhose when I gone hunting in the South when I lived their.

 

[DrHenley]

I hate hunting in warm weather in the South. Chiggers, ticks, yellow jackets, cottonmouths, briars, poison ivy, mosquitoes, it's just no fun.

 

[GaRp58]

I started wearing pantyhose when I gone hunting

Can we get a close up picture of this or do we just have to let the movie in our heads go wild???

BTW, does this have anything to do with DrH liking thighs???
