why so many ticks? #8480751 10/04/25 05:25 PM 10/04/25 05:25 PM

Dirty D OP trapper D Joined: Nov 2014 east central WI	Why so many ticks? Short video on why so many ticks. Just my experience but I burn chunks of my property every year spring and fall. About 20% prairies and 80% woods. My woods is being managed to a more open woodland that is fire dependent. This year I had one tick on me. I'm outside alot, cutting firewood, doing habitat improvements, hunting morels and just walking around, just about daily. As far as I'm concerned warming climate is a ridiculous cause. As a kid ticks were unheard of in the warmer southern 1/2 of WI, you had to go to the colder northern 1/2 to get a tick. Now they are statewide.

Quite ironic to the fact that I grew up in the warmer southern states and ticks were part of life.
