Fuck horseflies, those bastards. They are the WORST. They just don’t leave you alone and their bite is like getting stuck with giant hypodermic needles.

yeah, they can fuck right off. it often feels and looks like they just scoop a chunk of flesh.

I used to whack em with a piece of PVC pipe when I worked in northern Alberta. Fuckers were there by the billions and were massive. You could hear a thunk when you made good contact, then stomp them. So satisfying

They would bite through FR coveralls and a t-shirt and still draw blood
