Default Tick Report ?

How do they seem in your neck of the woods this year? They seem horrible this year in NE Ohio. Had to pull one from my 4 year olds head after he helped me hang a stand last weekend.

I've had 7-8 on me (crawling not embedded yet) through the early summer.

They have calmed down lately, but they were terrible from April till middle of June.

They seem to be getting worse every year, maybe due to the milder winters. And you don't really hear much mention of it!
I spend alot of time outdoors in Ill, WI, and MI and it's gotten to the point where I cannot go hunting, fishing, ATV'ing without being loaded up with permethrin.
You can hardly walk 20 feet without picking up a couple!! [:-]

I hung a stand and added to one of my mineral sites today. I walked away with 3 ticks on me. Luckily they were just crawling on me and notattached.

Ticks are bad, I hate them.
I will not walk through the woods without spraying my clothes, but I don't like to use spray when hunting soI keep a path mowed to where I'm going to set upmy blind to cut down on ticks.
