sticktights

[stack]

so lets hear your methods of removing sticktights from your hunting clothes. My hunting rainwear is covered and it will take days to pick them off by hand.

is that the same as burdocks??
 i hate picking them off, i got some new windshear wooltimate pants from cabelas and they are covered too.
 i just ordered the burzoff, supposed to remove them quick and easy.
 ill let ya know how it works when it gets here

I had them on my wool bibs to the point that I was going to throw them away till my wife reminded me what I paid for them. I used a butcher knife and shaved them off. Worked great.

Butter knife

I have a few stands I have to walk through a bunch of spots that are full of "Hitchhikers". I have one pair of pants I always wear when going in there. Bought them a few years ago and they will not stick to them. I forget what they were called but will look in them later today and see what brand if possible.

beggars lice-used a dull blade to scrape them off where I grew up  in KY.  luckily we have none out here in NV

File card works well.

Dull knife for me as well.

Still takes a while, but the best way I've found so far.  I'm curious to see if there's a better way!

Good luck

WD-40. Then wash them.

I use the little curry comb meant for cats (not the dog size), it looks kinda like a shiny hacksaw blade bent in a loop and with a leather slip on handle.  It works pretty well in my past experience.  Might experiment with a real hack saw blade.  Bend it to make a loop and try either side.  If you do that, you might grab one that is already dulled up in the center so you don't cut the material.

The Nocking Point sales a stone like device that works great. I am not sure of the name, but they can tell you about it. I bought on several years ago and love it.

I have two boys 6 and 8 yrs. They will pick them off for a dollar.    :cool:

Try cotton balls ,you will be glad that you did !

i hate burrs!....... Especially when you got a runny nose with burrs all over the sleeve,.... ouch!.....sonofa.....!

I use a butter knife...

If you have a mouthy child put them to work pulling them off. It builds character and gets rid of those pesky burrs.

OK so I got my burzoff. Tried it on my wool pants and it worked like advertised .
 My concern is that it also removes a tiny bit of wool fuzz as well. I worry that after repeated use I'll have no pants left.

It is just tough.  I get lots of them where I hunt.  The best I have found frankly is the choice of clothing I wear before I get them.  The old saddlecloth material was fairly good, but I don't think they make it or similar stuff anymore.

Right now I have been using the predator made clothes.   St. Joe River Bows sells it.  They still collect the burrs, but it brushes off with the sweep of your hand quite easily.  The bonus is they are good clothes and camo pattern to boot.  All I wear in burr country.

If they're the same as Beggar's Lice I just use a dull knife and some time.
