Wood Ticks

Haven't Heard Much Said Yet This Year, But The Wood Ticks Are Out Big Time Again So Be On The Look Out For These Things I Have Found Several Since I Started Scrapping Heck I Even Found One When There Was Snow On The Ground Yet.

I don't really know the difference between the ticks..But I do know what they can do...My son got rocky mountain spotted fever from a tick ...He was only 2 years old at the time...We didn't know if he was going to live or die for along time..By the grace of God he lived...If you have never seen someone with this ...It will blow your mind..I hope I will never see anything like that again...

I still get ticks on me now and then. The worse case was in Michigan's Upper one summer day. I was messing around in the woods and oh my gosh. There were lots of them up and down my legs. Not nice!

I haven't seen any around here yet Mike, but then we haven't been out that much this past few weeks. They flew the Keating Valley, Powder River Valley and a lot of Baker Valley with helicopters shooting the coyotes for the ranchers, so there isn't much to hunt right now. But I do know that they will be out in force right now or very soon anyhow. The ticks I mean.

Fortunately I havent seen any ticks yet of any type just dont seem to be as many as in Jersey maybe its cause the year round mild temps I guess they stay on the host longer who knows I sure dont LOL

I don't have any trouble with ticks but fleas were bad last summer because it was so dry.

Man Ace you aint kidding buddy we must have fought at least 4 infestations last year. I was sitting out on the back patio this morning and seen one a hopping his way across the picnic table towards me Unfortunately for him I had my hand torch for sparking the BBQ near by so maybe his char broiled remanes will send a message to any wanna be invaders of sanity

I just pulled a tick off me a few minutes ago. We put Frontline on the dogs, but it takes a while to kill the ticks, so they still have time to crawl on them and then get on me. We didn't have many last year. Probably due to the drought.

I have been out in the timber a couple of times mushrooming this year and came out with more ticks on me both times than i ever have. They are definitely bad around here this year!

They say they are bad around here, but I haven't found any on me yet.

Yeah bad here too! I lift my pants legs. and spray OFF from the knees down, and then spray my pants too" and still end up picking 2 or 3 off me!
