We are going to take the boys to N Dak the end of October bird hunting. How is the weather going to be and are there deer ticks?

The boys are brittanys and used to hunting the AZ desert with cacti and other sticky stuff and are pretty tough. Any equipment like boots or vests that I should look into?

Thanks

Check out the dogs and watch the boys' hunting video
