WOOD TICKS are abundent!!

[x1957x]

Went north to a buddys place to trim trees and scout for the upcoming bear season and must have pulled twenty or so off us and when I got back to the hotel I PULLED OFF 7 and three more this morning not to mention the one I took off during my 3am pee break. They are ABUNDENT and even the deep woods bug sprays could not keep them and the misquito's(I aint going to bring up them,thats a whole diiferent topic) off!!!! Glad to get out of the bush for sure.. Hey, speaking of bear hunting.. What ever happened to Boar? Anyone know??

Never mind on the Boar issue. He called me after his Sunday Morning coffee. (57)

Ticks were abundant in my neck of the woods too. Walked in to water my turnips cause its way to dry, hope to give them a helping hand had hope the ticks were burnt off but not the case.

I wish I only had 20 last time I was up. Do most of my counting in the 100s. Even got bit by a deer tick and had to get medicine. They sure suck.

Deep Woods Off helps, but not much. Spray your clothes good with Permethrin the night before and you won't have a single tick on you.

Two weeks ago in Canada my buddy must have picked 50 off of himself over the course of the week. I treated a pair of clothes before the trip and found exactly one on me all week. It was on my pants, already dead. I haven't found a tick attached to me in over 5 years since I started using it, and I'm in the woods A LOT!

Yep! It's a banner year for wood ticks. We've treated the dog with a couple oil products exactly according to directions, he's always wearing a flea and tick collar, and we're still pulling ticks off him daily. Sometimes many ticks, every day.

I'm told they're supposed to start winding down in numbers by now, but I'm not seeing any reduction in numbers what-so-ever.

Hard to believe we were so dry at this time last year. Guessing we got at least another inch of rain last night. Our berry crops are insane this year, and the birds aren't even bothering them. Guessing the natural forage in the woods must be abundant this year as well.

Strange I did not notice many this past weekend when we were at the hunting land. Maybe they had all drowned from the rain. It is crazy wet in the Skime area right now. The skeeters were certainly lovin it though.
