I NEVER THOUGHT THIS WOULD HAPPEN TO ME * Archery Hunting Deer on Public Land In My Quigley 4x4 *
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- The hunt continues! And it's a lot harder than any other archery deer hunting I've done. The public land here is hard to access because of water and wildlife... like the cotton mouth / water moccasin that I almost stepped on while hiking through shin deep water or the poison ivy that has spread systemically through my body. The fun continues :)

Hi, I'm Allie! I'm an archer, hunter, angler, and public lands advocate. But really, I'm lover of all things outdoors! I enjoy sharing my adventures here on RUclips including the good and the bad. Learning how to enjoy the outdoors is a PROCESS and I'm here to share mine with you.

South Louisiana is tough as well; everything here wants to bite you. We hunt in hip boots when the water is up.
Hey 👋🏼 Allie! First of all, the first tree you showed yourself saddled to was poison ivy from the ground up to where you were! 🤦🏻
In south Florida your dealing with poison ivy, sumac and poison oak and it is so prevalent! Learn to identify all three!
Next try to locate hardwood hammocks in the swamps of Florida and hunt there because you will see the wildlife seeking refuge there.
And finally, I’m extremely allergic to urishiol which is an oily substance and allergen that is in the above mentioned plants.
After every hunt I come home and bathe in dawn dish liquid and wash my clothes in that stuff.
Wear rubber boots and gloves and wash them and your gear thoroughly after trekking in and out.
Im native to south Florida living in south Louisiana now and hunting the swamps here -very similar terrain!
Oh yeah, take lots of Benadryl to help with the itching, it helps a lot!
Thanks for the tips Wayne!!
Obviously I have zero clue what your circumstances are on this day, but guuuuuuurl… if you’re in a new spot, sit in that stand from sun up to sun down. Some spots produce in the morning, others mid day, etc. hunt it hard!! Love the content tho. You provide very structured, awesome content. Needed in this space. Keep it up!! You’re killin it!
Too dang hot out! Thanks for watching Paul!
I get poison ivy really bad especially during early season. The thing that’s help me the most is to shower very thoroughly with dawn dish detergent after I know I’ve been around it.
For sure. Thanks for watching Justin!
Walgreens makes a poison ivy scrub. Worked wonders for me the only time I got poison ivy on a hunt.
I'll check it out!
Wash thouroughly with Dawn after it shows or dawn and cool water then dawn and hot water when you get back from the hunt!
For sure. I got some Technu also.
Calamine lotion will help with the itch and also wash all of your bedding and clothes that came in contact with the poison ivy or oak. Good luck happy hunting ☺️
Got some. It has helped!
Welcome to hunting in Florida! It’s definitely a different beast. My dad and I always talk about how a lot of other hunters from other states would quite if they moved here, between the snakes, gators and mosquitos! I’ve hunted here most of my life and I’m still cautious with walking in water over my calf especially. Take it seriously but there is a lot to enjoy. Especially if it cools off in the winter!
It sure is. Thank you for watching!! Looking forward to some cooler weather.
Don’t worry it will be December and you will be dripping sweat
Wear water shoes instead of trying to stay dry. You can't let deep water keep you from hunting a spot in florida.
I had to tap out!!!
""In the 2021 study, Hennessy and Hild used a dissecting microscope to look for ticks or tick body parts in the stomachs of 32 Virginia opossums from central Illinois. They found absolutely no evidence of ticks and concluded that ticks are not a preferred diet item for opossums."""
No way!! I'll have to take a deeper dive.
Correct, not a preferred food in most places but is one of a few animals that will and does eat them
@@OutdoorsAllie opossums will eat ticks if they are on them…it’s best to kill the opossum because they eat turkey eggs, and the turkey will eat thousands of ticks
Turkey eggs are a preferred food source for possums. Shoot or trap ‘em if it’s legal, if you want to help turkeys populate.
@@MOzarkMike yes, unfortunately
I got poison Ivy mid August and it is finally going away. I would rub Alcohol on it to kill the itch and I also used the benadryl itch cream. Alcohol burns a little but it helps. If you guys ever come hunt North Georgia let me know, I have a bomb Birria recipe and it goes awesome with some young deer meat. There is plenty of public land around here. Happy hunting to the both of you!
Ugh, it suckssss! Thanks for watching!
@@OutdoorsAllie Hi Allie, is that (773) area code number just an imposter?
Ouch... need to stop the sweat and keep the infected areas dry and clean , My X GF got so bad she had to take prednisone and stay indoors
Ya, that's been my situation recently.
As a Florida hunter I use river flood stage from NOAA and a good pair of waders.
Tell me about it!
Try to find high ground where there's no water the deer like it
Thanks for the tip Keith!
If you can kill big bucks in Florida you can kill deer anywhere
You're in FL now. Familiarize yourself with Metopium toxiferum of southern Florida and the West Indies...aka Poison wood Tree.
I found myself sensitive to it although immune to poison ivy.
Best Wishes.
Thanks for the feeback!!
I consider myself a pretty dedicated hunter. I'll hunt in temps, rainfall, and snowfall, that most others wouldn't hunt through. But never in my life would I hunt a Florida swamp in the early season while walking through water ankle-high water. I must applaud you for that effort.
Its a blast!!
It makes sense she is originally from PA. PA Hunters will put themselves through any brutal hike or environment to get themselves a good K. I’m with you. I would not be doing that either, no matter how good the spot is😂
I live in and bowhunt South and Central Florida.
It's freaking hard. Heat. Fire ants. Snakes. Gators. MOSQUITOES.
When I go to hunt Illinois every year it's like the easiest vacation of all time.
Cool weather, no bugs, ag fields full of deer. Basically the opposite of FL.
I killed a nice 8pt yesterday with my bow on public ground in the heat on stand for 12 hours.
6:30 am climbed up, killed him at 6:30pm.
It's never a gimme in FL when it comes to bowhunting deer.
Edit: Also your dog and my dog are identical twins. Awesome pup!
Good stuff. Congrats!!
She's the best dog!!
Hunting Florida swamps is unique for sure! After 25+ yrs hunting WMA lands I'm so glad to see you document the reality of it all! Thanks for the video.
Glad you enjoyed it James!!
Hot weather hunting just not enjoyable to me. Mosquitoes, horse flies, ticks, chiggers, cobwebs in your face, horrendous. Just the noise level of insects (cicadas) can be enough to cover up animal movement sounds. Also, there is food everywhere for the deer. They just don't have to travel, so hard to ambush. In addition, the deer are covered in ticks. You can also get poison ivy from touching their fur.
Tec Nu(Walgreens or CVS)makes a two part product, that I use and take Benadryl. That’s the only way I can slow Poison Ivy down, that or go to a Dr.
It’s a marathon not a sprint . One hunt at a time
Another thing is in deer down there are not gonna be nowhere near the size of Midwest parts deer are I was down in the deep South of Alabama and I'm telling you they're full grown beer look like fun's compared to the Midwest
FL deer look like small dogs compared to deer in PA or other parts of the country. My son passed on a 6 point for like a week strait looking for a decent buck until he seen what someone there called a "monster" and it was a 5 pt. He shot the 6 the next day and filks were freaking at it's size saying it was HUGE. It dressed out 106lbs. LOL
Learn Giant Hogweed identification. Avoid this painful condition in the future by staying clear of this alien invader. The condition is made much worse by exposure to sunlight.
Someone has probably said but if not get Zanfel from Walmart, CVS etc, it is best for the poison Ivy.
Early season is always really tough in the morning because most deer end up in the beds while it’s still dark. Trail cameras are a good idea and put them up 10 feet in the air so no one can reach them. Something else to remember about poison ivy is that if it’s on clothing, boots or your pets it can be there for weeks and you can still get it! Most definitely your pillow covers and sheets, this is usually how it spreads all around your body!You must wash everything as soon as you know you’ve touched it. Thanks for your channel! Good Luck!
Thanks for the tips and for watching Bruce!
Aka the poison oak kid
@@zachchurchill6709 The first thing I said when I saw this was that’s poison oak, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve gotten poison ivy from my dog. I’d spend the whole time avoiding it out in the woods and my dog would crash through all of it and then later on you would forget and pet the dog and a few days later all over your hands.
@@zachchurchill6709 what state are hunting
@@larrynuth9703 I live in California hunting California hunting Colorado too but this north and south of California
Welcome to Florida, deer pretty spread out with no funnels headed to beans or corn.
Definitely tough to figure out.
The possum eats ticks myth is overrated. Possums eat ticks if they have nothing else and they are readily available. It isn't like they seek them out. They'll eat your chickens way before they'll eat ticks
Time to get you some snake boots. I love mine when hog hunting and tracking through the swamp.
In the deep south, during early season, Sawyers permethrin is the BEST!
Some rubbing alcohol dabbed on each affected area should dry up the oil from the skin blisters the idea is to dry up the blisters
Also Ivermectin may help with the mosquitoes and ticks.
If you are forgetting your grunt tube then you have it in the wrong place. Always have it around your neck
Allie, the thing to remember about poison ivy is that it's like grease, so you have to use something (like Dawn) to remove it. Just using water won't remove all of it. And as others have said, it can remain on clothing for a long time. I've actually had it go through clothing onto my skin when the clothing got wet.
Soaking all my gear in Dawn right now!
bust out that calamine lotion dries up poison ivy works fast, instant itch relief.
To help treat poison ivy irritated areas use some calcimine lotion and take Benadryl.
Tecnu Wash worked wonders for me in the past when in contact with poison ivy.
That would definitely give me the Heebie- Jeebies .Good luck!
Thanks Perry!
I'll stay up here in the north to hunt. I don't like alligators or snakes. Atleast rattlesnakes don't come at you they hide
New to your channel love it, if I heard you right you left PA for Florida can’t believe hunting in Florida is as good as Pa.
We'll be back in PA for the rut!
No thanks I would not hunt there I will stick right here in Montana
May sound crazy but wipe it down with paint thinner and it will dry it up
Best thing for poison ivy is to gat out in the sun and get really sweaty.
I was in the same situation opening weekend of bow hunting, I had that pink crap all over me......first thing I was asked......do you have monkey pox......needless to say, I stayed home until that crap went away!
Ugh it was bad!
I was wondering why I haven't heard anything from you in a while... I must have bumped the notification button by accident! Any who, glad to see you're still going strong!
Thanks for watching!!
I have poison ivy before it is not fun' bless your hart i feel so bad for you.Good Luck with your hunting.
Thanks for watching Jimmy!
Get well soon ✌🏿
Gotta go & go untill you seal the deal. Rashes , bug bites, and weather is part of the deal. And simply when we think we've dotted all the I and crossed all the T's we get curve ball. I've bagged big deer while all smelly in evening summer heat to being blown off the stand while being spec and span shiny clean.
Age and arthritis have curved my hunting adventure so just enjoy the failed hunts and being outdoors in nature. Life is short. So thanks for sharing your adventures with me.
Thanks for watching Robert!
uh huh. welcome to Florida. Land of little deer, big snakes, gators, bugs and apparently poisonous plants.
Lots of fun!
Salt water is ur friend with poison ivy
TECNU EXTREME!!! for the poison ivy, only thing that works for me and if I even look at poison ivy I get it. Love your channel, huge fan. ❤
Glad you enjoy it. Thank you!
Then they give you a steroid or a steroid cream
Welcome to the weird world in Florida.All kinds of reptiles and poison plants,be careful out there guys.
Wild place. I love it!
Hunt in Oklahoma or Kansas nice bucks there or similar weather of heat and dry air go too Texas, plenty of hogs and deers there ..
Sounds like fun!
@@OutdoorsAllie yes, there you don't have to be on a tree it's a plain view hundreds of yards to see a deer ..
Seriously. THERMACELL. 😂
If you're hunting down here do yourself a favor and invest in a Thermacell, I wont go to the woods without one.
For sure.
You should get a therma cell it doesn't spook game n keeps mosquitoes n biting bugs away
For sure.
Is there a lot of public land in Florida? Similar to PA where there are big tracks of gamelands?
Yes, there is a decent bit!
Whenever i feel itchy after being in the woods i use isopropyl alcohol on the rash area it gets the oil out of the skin.
that looks like poison sumac that you have i have had it before it sucked took about 3 weeks to go away
Ugh. It's rough.
Oh that sux so far as the ivy. I am allergic too. Use ivyx it is a wipe that you wipe yourself with that makes your pores close. It helps before you get into it. Also tenchu is a solution you put in your wash with your clothes to get the oil off. Good luck. I feel ya
I'll probably put some ivyx in my pack from now on!
@@OutdoorsAllie Totally. I do :)
Great vid as usual…I’ve followed you guys for a few years and just love the work and effort you put into our great sport of bow hunting! You all rock! Hope the poison ivy clears up fast.
Thank you Michael!
Because the oil in your clothes and anything else you are wearing - bag it all and cover everything with a gaze and anti-itch
I'm not allergic to poison ivy a least not yet I've been all in around south Georgia maybe I was just lucky and didn't get the oil on me thank God I've seen people with some really bad cases of ivy. Sumac. And poison oak. Please be careful try not to scratch and spread cantamon
I was trying to say try not to spend infected areas to other spots of your body by rubbing or scratching . Another thing that helps some old remedies to use real aloe Vera plant on infected areas to help with itching and healing
Yes, it sucked!
Looks tough to hunt there. Does your insect repellent affect your hunt? Have you ever seen good deer traffic while wearing it?
Yes, it is tough for sure. No the permethrin does not smell when dry.
@@OutdoorsAllie Thank you for responding.
I was wondereing about the smell of the lotion.
Braver than I am, never been a warm weather hunter myself, in Wisconsin I don't even go out if there are too many mosquito's much less snakes, etc. 😀 Good luck!
Thanks David!
Welcome to Florida. What WMA were you hunting?
Use white shoe polish works great
Dawn dishsoap for that poison ivy
If I could recommend anything I would recommend you check out sentlok clothing
I thought that looked like poison ivy all over the tree you're stand is in
Yep. Bad mistake.
I had blisters head to toe in highschool! Soo bad! Highly allergic to the stuff! Feel for you! Thanks for sharing!
Yikes. Sounds rough!!
Think the bumps are from the prometherin and other insect chemicals?
No, ive been using permethrin for years.
If I could recommend one more thing put the tip of your toe into the water 1st doarthur 1st don't drag your feet through the water water that makes a lot of noise and it carries forever
Poison Ivy is a pain, it will spread so don't itch it if you can avoid it. It's also one of the ones that many people are not allergic too. Poison Oak and Poison Sumac are way worse. They can be even worse, hopefully you didn't come in contact with either of those. Good luck with the itching.
Should’ve stayed in the mountains.. nice weather!!! And Pretty!!
Ooooooh boy!!!! Poison ivy is ruthless. I enjoyed the vid. Being from north central Pa, I don't even like dealing with copperheads and rattlesnakes. I sat within feet of a water moccasin in South Carolina while filming a turkey hunt. Nooooooo thank you . Keep up the great work.
Watch out for the scorpions in the pine bark😳
New fear unlocked!!
Use this at the first sign next time... it works amazing
Tecnu Extreme Poison Ivy Scrub
Get ivey ease & use it
Genial 👌👍💯
Best relief for poison ivy rash is a shower with water as hot as you can tolerate. It brings a euphoric relief that lasts for hours.
FLORIDA IS Great vacation state forsure no doubt about it. But as far as whitetail hunting goes not very popular at all. I don't recall watching any DVD's or hunting TV shows on cable in Florida. There has to be a reason for that.
I think your charisma and charm will be put to the test keeping your viewers entertained. Bowhunting in Florida appears to be very boring to me. Aren't you worried about algaters there so common what do you carry for protection.
Use a charcoal mask to block your pours from opening and it will help! The hotter it is the more it spreads. Clog your pours.
Use lava soap after
Nice! After elk hunting this year, animal movement finally clicked for me as well.
Lol wait till you get poison oak/ivy on your kibble and bits, you quickly realize the pleasure dogs get dragging their a$$'s on the carpet. I recommend a hot bath with about a cup of bleach, followed by as cold of a shower as you can stand.
Tried telling you this on IG but DAWN dish soap works well with preventing the oils from spreading on your body. Ive been in your shoes a few years ago and it sucks.
Oh, and teknu
Yes ma'am I live in Central Florida also and as you'll tell there's not as many deer in Florida as upper States and when you get one it is a lot higher of success because you really have to put your work in and be a real Hunter instead of a lot of other places you see on RUclips just go sit one time shoot something quick should have stick in there be careful of snakes alligators and all the other critters in Florida good luck keep at it.
That definitely looks like a different way of hunting and I'm sure once you guys get it figured out you'll be successful. Get well soon.
Thanks John!
I'm a logger and I use duwn dish soap and a green pad. It takes care of it fast with no spending going
You have to find thickets, and hunt them. You will find trails and bedding. Hunt where you find that. Where trails merge together is good too… I could be wrong but it looks like you have been set up in the big/open woods. You will find sign there but it’s usually all from night time activity. Find a thicket with bedding and trails/limbs chewed off and hunt it hard! Good luck! Love the videos!
Thanks for the tips and for watching!!
You have a fantastic eye to see that marsupial in the tree in the pitch dark. I imagine it’s eyes caught your light, but still, most hunters wouldn’t had ever seen it tucked away in that tree like it was.
Seeing a wild otter would be amazing. I’d be as excited as seeing a dolphin or an Orca.😂
Thanks for watching!!
Hahaha.
Plus don't spread oil from the plant any where
Not sure how I got sent here, but I AM a MT boy & a hunter. Florida is WAY too hot for this red head, & seeing the back of your head on a clear day doesn't appeal to me longer than a vacation: however, I did run into poison something while in NY, & wow was that miserable. You got my sub!
LOL thanks. It's an adventure for sure!
