I realize this thread is five years old. I just can't help myself. That is NOT poison ivy. It doesn't even come remotely close to looking like the poison ivy we have in northern Michigan. I thought all poison ivy looked the same. Sure, maybe different colors maybe but the actual structure of the plant always looks about the same. This is nowhere close to the stuff we have.
I get such a kick out of all these people saying they rolled in it as kids and never got it. Well you are the same people that thinks that vine in the picture is poison ivy. You never rolled in poison ivy.
My buddy is 40 and swears he used to roll in it for money(dares/bets) as a teen and never ever got it. Mind you he doesn't know a pumpkin patch from green bean plants so I didn't really believe him. Well just the other week we had to do a job pulling a huge section of weeds out and about half of them were poison ivy. I wore long sleeves and gloves and went straight home and showered with my trusty poison ivy soap and still my arms were coated with a heavy rash, also my stomach, crotch, and legs and no skin besides maybe my arms made contact.
And for the first time in his life(so he says) he got it as well. Not as bad as I but he still had bumps all over. He was shocked. I wasn't(we were immersed in that crap for hours). I told him that's probably the first time you ever touched "real" poison ivy. Rolling in three-leaf clover doesn't make you breakout.
Fake poison ivy rollers and guys that shoot 200lb bucks are my biggest pet peeves!!!!!!!!
My buddy shot a real nice 10 point in southern Michigan in this big fenced in farm. Fake hunting as far as I'm concerned but I won't get into that now. Well he calls me the day he got home and had me come over and look at it. He is telling me how its over 200lbs dressed out this and that. I only had to look at that buck for a second to know it was under 150. I process all my own deer and weigh most of them just for ####s and giggles. So I tell him to bring it over to my house and I'll weigh it for him. Of course he kind of balked at that idea but he did. 120lbs dressed out. The deer was three days dead so it probably dried out a little. Lets say it lost 20lbs. So we will say 140 dressed out. Still no where near 200. My dad has six trophy bucks on the wall. One held the record for 35 years(8point) in our county. That weighed 190lbs dressed out and it completely dwarfs all the other bucks he has mounted(body size). 200lbs my ass! In northern michigan you are lucky if your buck dresses out at 140 or more. Out of the 20-25 bucks I've shot the biggest was 145 dressed out. Enough of my ranting. Sorry. Gosh I feel a lot better now
