With the unseasonal warm weather, evidently ticks think it is spring. Yesterday, the wife went for a walk along the mowed trails on our property and last night she found a small deer tick crawling up her leg.
I don't think the ticks ever left. I've been bitten three times this fall. Tho' it might be from ticks crawling off my deer inside the car. (eww!) But all the deer I seen this year are loaded with ticks. More than usual.
Do they still latch on in the late fall/winter if they are around? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I was out doing some work on our lease about 3 weeks ago and found one dug in on my elbow when I got home. Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
This board is NOT a proper forum to discuss you $ex life. BUT.. along with the original intent of this thread.... YUP.. our snow has pretty much melted. It got into the 60s today. Fear not... they say we're going to get some more snow tomorrow or the next day. I mean, people were actually running their snowmobiles last week. They were stupid... but they were running on not enough snow. Knee deep in the woods but too many wet spots and clear spots with little snow. Now mine is gone here at the house but 15 miles away they still have it.
It's been weird this season in February the ticks were everywhere, September and October scouting and putting up stands not one on me, and now I'm starting to see them on me again??? I don't get it when I first started bow hunting 5 years ago if we got a frost or a really cold day that was the end of them. When I was rifle hunting up in Maine I had one crawl up my hand. I've never had one on me that far north?
