Ticks

[Ohiosam]

About ready to hop in the shower and notice a funky black spot on my back. Turned out to be a tick. Not sure I'd never had a tick on me before and I get one the first week of December...wtf? He was pretty skinny so he hadn't been on long. So I guess everyone should pay attention.

Yes. And if you find a tick on you this time of year, chances are it's probably a black-legged tick, the main carrier of Lyme Disease.

I helped cape out a buck at Ric and Ron's deer camp last night. I'd say 20 ticks came off it while we were doing it. Nasty little bastards anyways!

I had one on me yesterday and pulled one off the dog today!

I'm not going to lie I act like a girl when a tick is on me or I see one. They absolutely disgust me. My wife and I bought a couple "tick keys" off Amazon that take a tick off perfectly keeping the head on. If taken off improperly it can cause regurgitation from the tick back into you which is what spreads disease or the head to stay Inside you.

My buddy found one on him today also

I hate those fuggars! Sam, how have you never had the privilege of having a tick on you before?

Been covered up in ticks this year!!! Very bad year for em

 

[Big_Holla]

Damn I hate those things! Last couple years the deer we killed had plenty on them. Warm weather probably has them active.

Cold weather don't even kill them bastards stay alive under deep snow. One spot I hunted two years ago was nuts. Every time I went through the weeds to get to my stand is have them crawling on me. And this was in January.

Ticks give me the willies.
Nothing creeps me out more...

Agreed!

 

[motorbreaker]

My sons buck had more tics on it then I've ever seen on a deer before.

Best protection against ticks is to spray your hunting clothes with a permethrin based spray - there are commercially available products like Sawyers or some people even mix their own to cut cost - you will most likely never see a tick with permethrin treated clothes

1+ on the Sawyers.
