Southern Mexico Jungle Hunt-High 90's to 100+ degrees. Their dry season biting bugs not bad except ticks.

Campeche means "Land of the Snake and Ticks"

Good primer to get ready for Spring Eastern Turkey.

Ocellated Turkey, Greater Curassaw Male, Greater Curassaw Female and a crested Guan (no pic).

Their species of deer are Brockett Deer (3 color phase-Red, Gray & Brown)very small. they do have a Tropical whitetail that looks nothing like ours; almost white with a dark gray looks like a mask on its face.

Very safe and the food and people were great.

Great looking birds Tom, colorful too. Glad you had a successful trip. Welcome back.

Thanks Tom!!

That is pretty cool.

For ticks, us old foresters would tie a dog flea collar around our boots and hang one on our belt in the back, no more ticks. Or chiggers either.

Tom,

Turpentine was popular here years ago to repel ticks. Any use of it down south?

Great Hunt!

Did you eat any of those birds?

Pap

Tom,

Send me some feathers Lol!

Pap,

Ate the Turkey, Guan and the Curassaw's. The Curassaw's by far were the tastiest birds. Very similar in taste to a Grouse. Large breast cutlets marinated and fried in a lime butter.

Great chef's in camp.

I hadn't heard of that.

I knew about the flea collar trick, used it once or twice with decent results. Deer ticks are happy to start at the knee when you brush against the wrong plant, whereas the bigger ticks tend to start much lower.

Doing "something" to stave off the ticks is pretty much a requirement if you're in the woods in Eastern Oklahoma or Western Arkansas.
