I’m in central Ohio, it’s not normal to have ticks this time of year. In early summer late spring it’s can be unreal. Around 16-20 is the most I’ve picked off myself, this is at one go. But the record belongs to my wife’s old dog; who insisted be let in the house every night. I said fine but you gotta pick the ticks off. She would get some amazing numbers. Long story long, the dog passes away and years later we’re talking about this very subject and I ask what’s the most you picked off at one time? She says, I never told you because you wouldn’t have let the dog back in, but around 80! This is a 32 lb. beagle

I don't know what happened to them here, its a down year for them. I only pulled one out so far, about a month and a half ago and it still itches. They must be getting careless too, I found a couple crawling on my arm- they are usually more stealthier than that. Usually have anywhere from 5-20 pulled by now.

The spring morel mushroom hunt, gobbler season, and trout seasons are when I get nailed. I hate those freaking things!
I probably should have the Doc run lymes tests on me every year just because. I'm due for inspection anyway.


Keep your boots dry and your powder too.

I remember when a fur check was reality.....now I'm just trapping for the love of it.

Best Regards,

Spray permethrin on your clothes that you are going to wear outside fishing, hunting, trapping, mushroom hunting, hiking, etc. I have actually watched several ticks crawl up my jeans to about my knees and then they start picking their legs up and down like they are walking on hot coals. After a minute or so of doing this they just fall off.

Cool...I'll have to try some of this stuff. Thanks!

After I found this one on me I was petting our Great Pyrenees and she had 9 on her head and neck crawling around. We treat the dogs with Nexguard so the ticks don’t stick.

What’s this myth about opossum’s eating 5000 ticks a week?? We have possums all over the place.
