I've been using a curry comb for removing burrs. The kind intended to brush horses with. It works good on fleece. But I don't think I have ever seen beggar's lice.

Consider Yourself lucky Sagebrush. It's so thick in a couple of places I hunt here in N.E. Kansas that I won't wear wool.

When I know I'm going in it I'll wear brown duck jeans with the nylon front. Doesn't stick as bad and what does wipes off pretty easy.

This stuff will stick to the hair on Your arms. It SUCKS!!!

They make a curry comb for dogs and cats, kinda like a hacksaw blade bent around in a circle with leather on the handle. The kitty size is per fect (sorry) and I always carry one in the truck during season.  Works for wool as well as for fleece.  Not too expensive either.

Put your wifes favorite fleece blanket on the bed, go hunting for a while. When you come home with beggars lice and burrs roll on the blanket to remove the burrs,  done deal. Go stay with Bryce he doesn't live THAT far away and sleep with one eye open .   :biglaugh:

We had them like crazy back home in PA and I run into them occasionally here in MO.  I usually use a knife edge and scrape them off or get my kids to do it.  Seems I've heard of using the curry comb before too.

I've come to believe that the keys to shooting well for me are good form, trusting the bow to do all the work, and having the confidence in the bow and myself to remain motionless and relaxed at release until the arrow hits the mark.

Dave, you said a mouthful about PA.

We got what is locally called by varied names in different locales.

We've got the marble sized round ones called "cockleburs" by some...then there are the triangle shaped things, fuzzy on both sides, we call, Velcro boogies", and then the long sticker things with prongs on the end, by which name I won't share, and the worse are these miserable tiny things that look much like a minature sycamore pod...those miseralble thing just burrow deeper in fleece as you pull on em!  :(
The words "Child" and "terminal illness" should never share the same sentence! Those who care-do, others question!
