DirtTime Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 I hate them too. They do bite through clothes, or worse, when hey act like sweat bees and get inside your clothes so you run around yelling obscenities while stripping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Real_TCIII Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 I'm happier after killing a deer fly than when I kill an actual deer 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landtracdeerhunter Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Don't seem to be bothering the horses much, but the deer are another story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
growalot Posted June 12, 2016 Author Share Posted June 12, 2016 The horse flies around here are like B-52 bombers and they are relentless in their pursuit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turkeyfeathers Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Threw some lead with the .44 downrange behind my buddies yesterday. Took a good walk. Think it was too windy for these lil buggers as we had no problems with them. I expected them to be bad. Now golfing these SOB's were a PITA. Learned to put my hand on top of my head, wait for them to land and slowly move hand dow n to swat with other. It sucked getting nabbed mid backswing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 I used to be pretty darn good at swatting those deer flies. I don't miss very often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
