Burrs and wool?

LOL

I gave up wearing my wool pants in the woods around here. I will carry them to my stand Kenny and put them on there but this time of year no way. Still wear it on my top half and get a few but not a big deal, usual don't need it till we hit the 20's anyway.

Legend has it that cockleburs and wool socks were the inspiration for the invention of Velcro.

Furminators (a fine comb used for removing hair on cats and dogs) works pretty good for getting burrs out out of hunting clothes

I just pull them off with my fingers. As a measure against them --- I mark them In the fall with flagging tape and then go back in summer and hit them with glyphosate. (Round up).  Gotta nip it in the bud Andy.

Dendy, we would have bare hunting areas if we sprayed all the burrs! LOL

Wet them down and scrape. Dry I use the burz off stone. Works well. It does remove some wool too

[kennym]

Everything I tried was taking off more wool than I like or not taking off any burrs. So the tried and true method of hand picking was used.

Had a pile of burrs and wool about the size of a small rat. LOL

I am so glad to not be a sheep!

Just wondered if you tried putting in a garbage bag, and then in the freezer. Something about cold makes them release, at least for me.

Kenny, in prep for my up and coming hunt I wish you would put that wool back on and walk several times to the spots I usually hunt.  What ya say?
