I've been spending a lot of time in the woods, getting ready. I don't think I've ever seen so many spiders as this year. Dang things are between every tree. I can't wait until the first frost!
Spider Season!

This time of year the first thing I do when I leave the truck is find me a good spider web stick...start swinging that thing like a ninja warrior. Hate webs on my glasses.
We don't have those huge banana spiders that spin that yellow 4 pound test sticky fishing line up here, just the ones with all kinds of stickers on their backs like some prehistoric dinosaur spider.
That's one of my priorities when I step into the woods, a custom spider stick, about 3 feet long with branching near the ends. And I'm still gonna end up with mats of spider web in my hair.

Me to for glasses wearer not much more aggravating
Fall is the season when you will see the most spiders. They are cleaning up the insect populations which usually peak just before October.
Wolf , Black widow and Brown recluse are not gonna be found in the deer woods but you can get bit by a brown recluse in your permanent box stand. They love those things.
I have been bit in mine in early December by a brown recluse here in Harnett.

I made the mistake of riding my 4 wheeler yesterday thru the woods without first installing my spider web remover system. I was miserable.

I think we killed a booner wolf spider yesterday.
We were insulating my cabin in sc and I guess he decided to come investigate our work. He was so big I was startled. I started to ease the .22 up but decided that wasn’t enough punch to take him down. I slowly switched over to the more lethal bug spray. After a daring stare down I smoked him with a good 30 second burst. He froze in his tracks! I decided to hit him again with another burst. He took off after the 2nd round. We decided it was best to back out of the cabin. Hopefully we can find him in the morning with pics to come!

Awesome! Y'all gave me one more good thing about being semi-handicapped right now with this back.... I dont have to look and feel like a spaz trying to get a dang spider and web off me.... I HATE those things..... snakes don't bother me, but a spider the size of a dime will make me hurt myself.

Well after pushing him last night we decided to back out.
We jumped him this morning and I made a beautiful shot with the ruger .22. The hollow point made a solid thud and he bowed up. After a struggle he slowly bedded down. Mid afternoon we came back to the last spot we had seen him and there he was.
I’m tickled pink to join the booner 4” spider club. It’s taken years and years of hard work, patience and dedication but I’ve managed to accomplish a seemingly impossible task!!

Huh..... been in the woods the past 2 days with minimal spider encounters. Actually very refreshing not walking into a web every 10 ft

Spiderwebs are a good sign. Means no one has been walking your trails...
I use them to monitor my chicken pens as well just like that. In the early AM when I feed them I expect to find whole webs , if I don't it's time to start looking closer.
