VA walk in the woods
Just an FYI.
Went for a walk yesterday behind the house to set up a camera and look for some sheds.
When I came home my daughter pointed out a bug crawling on my shirt. A deer tick.
These buggers are out already. Whats the deal? Is this out of the ordinary????????????

I thinkthis warm weather is the culprit. I hate the damned things and wish they would all die off. Between the ticksand the chiggers, you could go nuts.
I gotsick last year so bad that I thoughtI had Lyme disease. I had allthe symptoms and got scared. Had allthe tests done and it came back negative, thank God. It isasy to go out andtry to turkey hunt and come back loaded with dozens of the litter critters. Makes ya think twice about goingout intothe woods and enjoying yourself!

Dean we've had them ALL over us and the dogs this past week. It's the warm temps no doubt. I pulled 11 off me in Loudon earlier in the week and 3 yesterday. Not to count how many I pulled off the dogs. Never had to Frontline in Jan./Feb. until this year, I swear it's getting warmer and warmer each year...

not 100% sure how accurate this is, but I'd assume that if the warm weather brings them out early and then it frosts again later on, then the extremely cold weather will kill them off and we won't have to worry as much about them in the summer...I know a few years ago we saw a couple ticks realllly early, then it frosted and we didn't see annnyyyy during the summer, I asked my grandad about it and he said it could attributed to this....
