I don't know about worst hunt but last weekend my buddy and I were down filming in Illinois and the ticks and chiggers are so bad it is scary!!! We both have so many chigger bites I am running out of clear finger nail polish to put on them!! My buddy was way worse he had to go to the doc and get a shot for his!!! Darn things!!! Heck even the loggers quit working because of them.. Walt
