Anyone notice this.I had ticks on me during early fishing season, But lately I have not had any on me. Anyone else notice this in your area?

I am still picking them off me at least once a week.

Have only seen a few "wood ticks" and one deer tick this year. Don't much miss 'em, so far. ;O)

I haven't seen wood tick for a long time. They are the bigger brown ones? I don't either just notice a decline in them last month.

Maybe they all left because of most of pa sportsmans are bitter.

Maybe not bitter,but just don't give the !@#$ no more. You know what I mean. Kill everything and lets see what happens down the road.

Maybe no deer = no ticks also as somes reasoning on here.

no i think we leave a bitter taste in there mouths

You guys ever hear of deer keds? I, along with others, have noticed that as we cut the herd in these NC counties, that the swarms of deer keds that have attacked us in October have increased tenfold. Don't know if there's a connection or not. But I hate the damned things.

Almost every deer we've killed around my place in the past 10 years, has been full of them things. Seems like the colder it is in firearms season, the more of them there are on the deer?

I find a few here and there on firearms deer. November deer have some. October deer seem to have more. Setting on stand in a warm October afternoon sun seems to be the worst of it for me. They attach themselves to ya, shed their wings, and work their way to the back of your neck and bite. They leave a small itchy knot that takes weeks to go away.

I've not had any on the NY deer I harvest in Chenango County though.
