coyote 1 trapper C Joined: Apr 2013 michigan	It was 67 on Saturday here in Michigan. Went scouting on state land and had 3 ticks attached when I got home. This is the earliest I have ever seen ticks out. Might be a bad year for them. I have seen a couple mosquitos also. Last edited by coyote 1; Yesterday at 02:19 PM. United we stand,divided we fall.

Maybe they're all up north. I thought you Southern folk had them all year? No.....they come and go all year. When they're bad...they're very bad. Wetter springs with early warmth...look out! We are currently in an extended drought in most of the South and when this occurs...skeeters are slow to hatch off, even in warm weather...due to lack of standing water in these woods down here.

One had frozen to the top with ice so I brought it inside so it can melt and have something to flush with. Couple days later after the ice melted...i had a mosquto in the house. Found a tick on me last week too.
