Ever Seen One of These...?

ADDICT

Guest
Let's just say that my Dad is a MORON. While napping last year in the Utah Rifle season, he put this sucker on my face. I carry a 300 RUM, he had his 25-06.

Is it just me or was he begging for an accident?
 
I doubt he'll respond because I he's still on that ridge under some sage brush :)
 
I honestly tried to shoot the cricket but the 180 gr Barnes went through the bug, then through my poor Dad.
 
They taste like chicken..

I don't mind that "Utah Canary"......but put that 'pider on ME and there'll be a funeral on Tuesday!!!!!!!!!!! And I won't be the guy in the box!
 
i'm with Nickman and most of you on this. Always seem to get jobs under old houses with lots of widders. Been bit a couple times, not that bad other than the swelling and scar tissue, but the thought of them crawling across my face or anywhere on my body... creeps me man!! i don't likes em!! They rank right up there with bald faced hornets and a pissed off meat bee swarm.

Doesn't look like a Brown Recluse to me or not like any pictures I have ever seen. When I was in Vietnam, there was a guy in the room next to me that got bitten while sleeping on his left arm.
That was the most ugly bite I have ever seen, it swelled up and the skin tissue was actually rotten away, looked like a small volcano on his wrist area and sore and red. The Medical people over there were giving him all sorts of shots to remedy the situation. Later he got better but what an ugly scar on his wrist.

Found a Black Widow in the motorhome this summer. I killed it, but figgured there must be more.

Contemplated leaving it to them, but we were 160 miles from home. Worst night of driving I have had in years.

I have been bit twice and still have dime size scars from them.

My wife thinks it's funny that I am a sissy about spiders.

I am 62 years old.....probably too late to "get over it".
 
I have seen those crickets by the hundreds while hunting in nevada 2 years ago they are mormon crickets.
 
I don't know what those spiders are called, but we used to run into them by the hundreds out on the west side of Utah Lake. They web from sage to sage, making it very uncomfortable to walk out through there -- the web catches up on your clothes, the spiders cathc up on the web, next thing you know you have about 10 of them on you.
 
My son is so dramatic....

The truth is, really, I saved his butt. You see, I had my cross hairs on a 250" non-typical when out of the corner of my eye, I spied this "monster" of a bug, sneaking off with my son's new binoculars. Faced with a choice, I did the honorable thing and trapped the thief before it (not sure of the gender) could escape. Unfortunately, during the scuffle with the deadly invader (which really could have gone either way), my son awoke from his slumber, only to accuse me of mischief.

The sacrifices that I have made for my children!

That looks like a wolf spider. It's definitely not a brown recluse, which basically looks like a black widow but is brown with a violin shape rather than the hourglass.

I raise black widows in my yard, though not intentionally. :)

How To Hunt Coues Deer
 
In 2002 there was an infestation of those things in the west desert of Utah. There were millions of them. I had a Vernon deer tag that year and was out there a lot. While camping at night you could hear those things rustling around in the bushes all night long.
 
Those are MORMON crickets! Other than funny underware they are harmless. Not worth shooting your Pa over.

Wolf Spider. We had a lot of them where I grew up, not that big until one year. The tarantula hawkwasp were catching them. (BIG black wasp with red wings.) They only parolized the spider, drag it off and bury it with a single egg. When the egg hatches the larva eats the spider ALIVE. We didn't know this until later when I ended up in the ER with a bee sting (honey bee) and heat stroke. It was in a Ranger Rick (or something) magazine.

Fish4ever, thanks for the pic of that wasp! They loved the short little "lawn" that managed to survive in the yard at my grandparents place. If there wasn't one on the lawn, there would be one there shortly. Good thing they weren't mean, huge things maybe 2" long that looked deadly but we never had any real trouble with them. Spiders, hornet, and rattlers...creepy!
