RE: How is the tick population where you hunt?
I'm a tick magnet! This area is loaded with them. If you walk in the thick stuff your going to have uninvited guests for dinner! Lymes Disease was found in Lyme CT and yes boys and girls it is treatable. I don't worry about it. I try to pull'em off while they're still on my pants.
We rabbit hunt an area my dad and I call Tickville. That place is the worst I've ever seen.
