Turkey season sucked! I had ticks stuck to me sometimes two at at time every time I went into the woods. Now that Im just scouting andhanging stands, I spray myself down with backwoods off. I havent really seen a whole lot since summer started and covering my pants legs with off and taking a shower as soon as i get home.

Nothing like having tick bites in places you look strange scratching![:@]

I have hunted this place in Md for 3 or 4 years and have yet to find a tick on me or any of the deer we have killed. Other parts of Md they will fly in the window on a breezy day

Been out 3 times and each time I have had over a dozen of those little blood suckers on me, yuk!
I'd rather bump into Snakes than Tick's

This is the first year that i can remember that i have not had a tick on me. i made it through shed and mushroom hunting in the spring and turkey season as well. the only reason that i can think of not having any is when i was hunting turkeys i was in a pasture not in timber so maybe there are no ticks out there.

You guys don't know BAD! Every time I have gone out so far I have picked off at least 100. SOme spots are worse than others and we could have 40-50 in a 100yd walk. We pick them off as we go. But somehow I get home and find another dozen or so in my clothes............and for the next couple of days I find them onb me b/c they escape and get on me in my car. The bear I killed was infested....... I mean to the point of gross!
