Always turkey hunted in areas that had a LOT of ticks. I found that using either black or camo Duct tape and securely taping my pants to my boots. kept the little boogers from crawling up my legs. With shirt tails tucked into pants or better, coveralls. Doing same to shirt cuffs I reduced the ticks to a minimum. And the sensitivity of your neck find the ones that make it up to there. I rarely had one dig in. And I am one of those that ticks will jump on without even getting close.
