Ticks already

[rgw]

Wtf

[TroutandBucks]

I went walking around on Saturday and was surprised I didn't find any on me after hearing of people having seen them already 

[Stan Putz]

They never really went away, I was finding them on my dog in January after the freeze lifted.

I walked the pines Sunday, was shocked I didn't have any,,,,I hope

RGW ever do an old myth of dragging a white diaper around in the areas you hunt Said to attract Ticks just to see the Population noting more.  My yard 100 x 200 I treat with a product called Talstar If it Crawls- Flys it is Dead do it mainly for Stink Bugs that have almost been eradicated on my property.  Plus have not seen a Tick in Years even with deer walking through my yard.

Any single day where the temp is above 32 F you can expect to find ticks active . Winter itself doesn’t matter.

I went shed hunting the other day with my labs and they were covered.

Pulled one Saturday pulling cams

Picked one up walking a WMA during the last warm up. Constant vigilance needed.

Saw a pic the other day of a snake with a good size tick, not a small one attached to it. They are unbelievable

I hate ticks.  I had so many on me last year I stopped counting.

I can't believe in this day and age people still complain about ticks. Esp. with Permethrin, Deet and ryno skin available. They even have cheese cloth and re-washable game bags to contain ticks in your garage before butchering.

Got a 2gl sprayer filled with permethrin mix ready to go.  Walked a river bottom today without getting any, but that place was mostly covered with water.  Going to spray my clothes that I use for scouting before going back out again.  It's cut down the number of ticks on me by 99%, and the 1% I found on my clothes was dead.  

I put the deer in a jet sled that was sprayed with permethrin before putting the deer in the truck, then keep the sled under the deer while butchering, giving the carcass a spray down before disposing of it.

Not so much Complaining as many have light to Sever reactions to many of the Repellants. Deet in all its forms 100% - 10% has a bad name and reputation Some even Died from the reactions of Deet. any years ago In Alaska, I would Put a Drop of 100% on the bill of my cap.  If it can Melt Plastic No Thanks.  Ps Alaska was one of the Few States that allowed 100%. 

I use Skinsosoft Laundry Drier softening Cloths. And Carry an Epi-Pen for Stings and Bites.

I hate them.  Amazing that PIA bug actually serves a purpose and evolved into the PIA bug it is today.  ISIS of the insect world.
