stickers on your clothing

[iowabucks]

What the heck are those little 2 pronged dark brown looking sticker things called anyway?

I just spent 3 hours picking thousands of them off all of my clothing from just yesterday. I put a stand up in some public ground close to here (Cedar River Bottom). Last years flood must have made them things really grow this year. It's a real good location with some really big deer. Just a long walk back. I don't want to give up this spot just because of these things.

Any ideas on how to get them off? If i have to do it again i'll probably throw them away and buy new ones.

beggers lice?

Go to just about any farm store and get a curry comb it looks like 10 or so small band saw blades made into a comb its designed to take junk out of the wool and hair on show sheep and horses its worked for me every time and it doesnt take long to get the job done

Sounds like what I've always known to be called bootjacks. I've also heard them called goat heads. They have two prongs like you describe.
I have a stone type thing that you can get at about any outdoors store. It's sold as a burr and sticker remover. It works decent.

We call them bitch weed. If you get them on your cloths its a bitch to get them off!!

+1 for bootjacks. Thats what my grandad and dad always called them.

You came in contact with a biden sounds like to me...an excellent deer browse and quail food!! It will look like this in the summer.

Bidens and Beggars lice are right together with pics of the seeds. I think you are dealing with a biden. :way:

Don't matter what they are called they ALL suck on fleece! :grin:

I know exactly what you're talking about. They're a pain in the butt. I've used a curry comb as well, but be careful, as it will wear down your camo real fast. Best advice, stay the heck away from it!

 

[letemgrow]

Heck I pick them off, collect them in a baggie and plant them in some areas for better habitat

beggers lice?

Thats what I call them and have always heard them called.

Beggars lice for the little round ones and bootjacks for the ones with the prongs.

They dont' stick to my Gray Wolf Woolens!

 

[Tim Hull]

Yes, fleece clothing and beggar lice dont go well together.

:drink2: Burzoff +1

I just recieved 1 of these today and it worked great

had that stuff all over my camo, and in a couple of minutes I had it off

I got it from -- jjohnson -- on here contact him for it

 

[singlecoyote]

Does the Burzoff work on fleece?

 

[BrewCrew]

I always call them sticktites and cockleburrs. Cockleburrs are easy to get off with a little time. The camo I have doesn't attach to sticktites either - which is a good thing for me!!
