Heat wave puts the buzz on turkey hunters

HUNTING — Before last weekend, I had no trouble sitting still waiting for a gobbler to work its way in to a call.

But Wednesday it was taken by surprise with the hatch of mosquitoes triggered by the recent warm spell.

I didn’t have repellent.

Sitting still required more effort, looking down my shotgun barrel with the blurred silhouette of a skeeter rump on my nose.
