Swarms of mosquitos blown up in Looseyana and killing cows, horses and deer - sucks big time.

Silver spurs and gold tequila keep me hanging on. Pretty girls and old cantinas give me shelter from the storm.

That's crazy! Probably a stupid question, but did they die from blood loss or disease from the mosquitoes?

How close to the coast were they found dead?

I remember hearing stories like that as a kid but Dayam! That's nuts.

This was the front of my pickup from driving from Rockport to Fairfield a couple weeks after Harvey....Between Tivoli and Victoria was the worst. Driving through the clouds of mosquitos was like driving through fog in some areas. Had to stop several times to clean the windshield because the wipers couldn't keep up. That's over a 1/4" thick in most places.....think about how many tiny mosquito's that is....

"A deer rancher lost about 30 of his 110 animals, many of which already had been sold, Fontenot said."
Evidently, the loss of too much blood created an oxygen deprivation issue.

One word......Thermacell!
Thursday at 12:45 PM #33 Once i learned that i didn't "NEED" to kill something, and that if i did kill something all the fun stopped and work began, i was a much better hunter.

Dayum thats sucks literally. What a nightmare for parents trying to keep their kids indoors or spraying them down heavily with a repellent.
