Abe01 61 #1 Posted September 11, 2016 My buddy calls me and says hey found us a place to hunt! So we head over yesterday (2hour drive). He says oh it's going to be great it's a hay field....... Well no one has been there in almost 20 years. It's literally covered in mesquite, for those that don't know mesquite is a tree that is covered in 2 inch thorns. These thorns have an oil on them that is painfull and can cause serious infections occasionally. So we spent six hours cutting brush in a mesquite patch and the only animals that got holes in them where us. I got thorns all in my hands and thorn holes everywhere else! Also realized I'm not 20 anymore..... Typing this is about as much energy as I can muster today! Just wanted to complain a little, and remind folks even a "bad" hunt it could be worse! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DougC 2,641 #4 Posted September 11, 2016 I know what a body full of thorn holes feels like! I heated my house and garage with wood burning furnaces for over 30 years before I finally got old and tired and bought some modern day HVAC systems. I own 20 acres of land with about 1/2 of it timber. I would cut down and chop and split those awful thorny locust trees because I needed to get rid of them and they generate lots of heat for a long time when burned....... OH THE PAIN!!!! AND FLAT TIRES!!! I HATE THORNS!!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
