I have good luck using peroxide on chigger, flea and spider bites.

Read somewhere that venoms are acidic and peroxide or baking soda paste will
neutralize them quickly. Seems to work here. Old Joe

Howdy Fellas,
There ain't nothin' like lookin' at old originals for documentation. The old
scroll guard Henry and the Lancaster Pattern Henry as well as most pre-1830
Pennsylvania rifles had swamped barrels on 'em. And ya can't beat 'em for
balance and the full length(42"-44") give ya a longer sight radius which
tends to give a rifle more accuracy at longer distances. Provided the fella
pullin' the trigger does his part. If ya can possibly do it, see the
collections of the Museum of the Fur Trade and the Davis Gun Museum at
Claremore, Oklahoma. Plenty of documentable evidence that shows mountainy
men carrying long guns on horse in period illustrations. The short Lemans
and Hawkens were to late for the fur trappers pre-1839. Hope this helps ya
in your decision makin' process on your new rifle gun.
Happy trails,
Don Secondine

Frank and the Camp,
You're right, lots of poor people came west. But some that came west
were not ALWAYS poor. My family, for instance, lost big assets due to
the AWI (as Patriots). My family moved south, but if they had moved
west I'd wager they brought the family bible, rifle, horn, and personal
effects.

Pheremones are sexual scent attractants...usually used to decoy pests
AWAY from something. For me, using pheremones only works when I am out
in the woods with a partner. Good to know they will last for two weeks.
Got any tips on how to sneak it into your partners clothes? I'd need

I'm thinking we mean to spell "premetheren", least without looking at my can
out in the shop I think that is right. It is actually a pesticide and is not
to be put on your skin. Spray it on cloths and bedding as directed and it is
supposed to be about the only thing that will keep ticks and etc. things
that crawl or jump onto you, off you.

Wynn,
You are right, that little darling mule of yours was a sweetheart, and a
fine pack critter. Tempermental though, I reckon...... why, I recall that
rodeo that she gave you on our beaver camp a couple of years ago. Course,
you don't recall much of that short ride after landing on your head! Sure
glad you missed the rock!
We need to get on a ride to discuss the merits of the mules, horses, long
and short rifles and other issues of importance!!!
Take care, Brother!

A couple of things that seem to work here in Las Vegas:
First: The high rise hotels have started planting hawks & eagles on their
roofs. Where the big birds have "taken" they've done considerable damage to the
pigeon population.
Second: At a place I used to work, we had a problem with ravens & pigeons
roosting on our heavy equipment, especially on the big American & Manitowoc
cranes that were usually parked with 200+ feet of "stick" (boom). The solution
there was "bird cannon". These noise makers operate on propane. They're clock
controlled to come on about 3:30 - 4:00 PM & run until dark. They fire
randomly and are on a pivot so they spin & fire in a different direction nearly every
time. When they fire, they mimic a 12 bore smoothie with about a three dram
load. 'Course this would be about the same as you shooting birds as far as
close neighbors are concerned. One thing we learned with the bird guns is they
have to be moved periodically or the birds get used to them. With this in
mind, you might try moving your fake owls every week or so. With that large
roof, it shouldn't be hard to reposition the owls. They need to be moved 20 feet
or so. Maybe set 'em up on a rope controlled trolley so you don't have to get
up on the roof so often. Same would apply to the rubber snakes.

Got any tips on how to sneak it into your partners clothes? I'd need

I think that permethrin is the refined form of pyrethrin, which is the
component of chrysanthemums that kills insects. So Chrysanthimum leaves
should work to some degree.
I looked at the can on Permanone and it says it repels ticks, chiggers,
mites and mosquitoes.Kills 'em dead is more like it. I have found dead
ticks on my hunting clothes, several times. So yes products containing
permethrin do work very well to keep the critters from getting under your
skin. Pun intended ;-)
