I put a buddy on one of my stands last fall where I arrowed a 6-pointer and he came back with ticks all over him.
To this day he still calls it my tick stand and laugh about it a bit.
But truth be told we pulled over 100 ticks off of him!!! No joke, it was disgusting.
The highlight, was my buddy with his shirt off, at the truck, on the side of the road.
and me pulling 7 or 8 off him already in-bedded on his hairy WHITE back.
It must have looked like broke-back hunting!!![8D] Yikes!
They give me the hegee-jebees, and I think I would rather bump into a 1/2 dozen snakes!
i was turkey hunting, i fell asleep and awaken at around 9 am.i felt something on my neck, boy, it was bunch of ticks.i ran down robinson run hollow in youngwomans creek ,accross highway and took my clothes off and went into creek.
i looked up and there was FISH WARDEN.he said, SIR CAN I ASK YOU WHAT THE H ARE YOU DOING?
i said i got bit by a bunch of ticks.he then asked if i needed a ride to hospital.this was 20 years ago and i still laugh about it when i tell story.
somehow we have got to put pressure on our legislators to get this problem corrected, its killing tourism all over the northeast.
Funny stuff.
I went out to that spot today and about 50 ticks later...
Although I did have 4 grass snakes make me jump a bit, still like them better!
