I'm sorry for my lack of posts this past month or so. I've guided nearly everyday and I just haven't had the time to wait on this dang internet. Anyways, we had a good season and killed 5 birds which is actually down from years past. I'm not so sure it was the lack of birds. Seems like everybody had lot's of opportunities. Anyways, I had worked it out so that I was going to get to hunt the last few days of the season but danged if I didn't get erhliciosis from a tick bite I got about 10 days ago. I had several get past my permethrin this season but most would be attached but dead when I would find them. This one was different. He was fully imbedded and feeding which is all it takes. My wife had gotten ehrlichiosis two years ago and when I told her that I felt like crap last Fri. night she suspected a tick. We went to the hosp. on Sat. and sure enough I had it. I arrived with a 103.5 fever. Doxycycline is the treatment for most tick born diseases and it's what was prescribed for me. This is day 3 of the treatment and the doc told me it would take 3 days to start feeling human again. I think I'm on the mend. Be careful out there. Tick's are a part of what we all love to do just take every precaution you can. I do and I still came down with it. Damn ticks!!!!
Congrats! to everybody that scored. I'm eating tag soup here in Ky. There's a remote chance I might make it back to Ga. for the last few days of their season. It ain't over til it's over.
