ticks so far?

anyone notice ticks aren't nearly as bad as last year so far? at least here in RI...I've been out in my swamp hangin stands and clearing lanes, and have YET to get one on me since the leaves popped. kinda funny cause last year they were horrendous! uh-oh......maybe im jinxing it....

 

I pulled off 8 on Saturday. Considering we've only snow free for a few weeks i think it's just starting.

Areas that had the drought last year real bad will see a decline with tick populations this year.

 

I haven't had any on me yet here in RI either.

 

They all moved south to KY !

 

i've had a bunch.

 

I can honestly say in the 30 plus years I have been bow hunting I had never had a tick on me until this year. I have had two on me so far and have seen many more inside my blind while turkey hunting. Seems to be much worse here in MI where I hunt and MI as you probably know was hit hard by the drought of 2012.

 

Ticks are absolutely terrible so far this year. There isn't hardly a day that goes by that I don't pick at least five off.

 

pulled close to 40 off so far this year, been out 6 times.
none in the skin, just crawling on me.
i went out today after treating my clothes with permetherin(sp?) - not 1.

 

Had about six or seven Saturday afternoon pulled off. Usually don't get to many on me so we'll see. I'd say if keep getting rain around here they may be kinda bad this year seeing as its been dry passed couple years but who knows.

 

Went out scouting for turkey season a week or so back and between the three of us I think we pulled off around 10. Since then we've been spraying down every time we went out and seems to be working.

 

Same goes here. My brother and I were at our cabin yesterday spraying our food plots. We counted five ticks in just a handful of hours.

wow.....lol! that's how it was round here last year, weird.

 

Ticks are worst I have ever had to deal with. Last weekend I pulled off a minimum of 50 my self and my buddy was worse yet. That is being out scouting for about 4 hours. Ridiculous!

 

So far it's the worst year I've ever seen. Get them on me everytime I go out.

I pulled one out of my *** crack this weekend. True story. We each had about 5 on us...

 

Had one after working all day in the woods up in northern Wisconsin. Was surprised to see one

 

They been bad here in upstate NY so far this year.

 

I pulled 6 off my dog after an hour hike. And I pulled out a couple from down there, if ya know what mean

 

I have not had one on me this year so far. Going out this weekend to my new property to hang a stand, camera and put out some MonsterRaxx. The landowner says he has pulled about 40 off of him, but he did not know about Permethrin. Since I told him about it, he only has pulled about 2 or 3 off of him.
