I'm Done
I think I'll hang it up for the year. Didn't get out much as it is due to a stupid part time job. Was out monday and the ticks are really bad. I waalked only about 200 yards through the woods, being fairly careful not to brush against every wed and limb that got in my way. Still, I ended up removing 11 ticks from my pant legs. Wednesday I ended up removing one from my abdomen that had a pretty good hold. Now I gotta keep an eye out for signs of Lime Disease.
Yeah, I know about sprays and such. Been doing this a very long time. Still, the rewards are not worth the risk at this time in my old life. Maybe I'll get out during the late season when those pesky critters are buried for the winter.
