This is some serious consequences from a tick bite. A meat allergy. Can you imagine as a hunter not being able to eat meat???

I found a half dozen different Lone Star ticks crawling on me while turkey hunting last week. Thought about that red meat allergy the whole time..

Befrin (little better residual) or Permethrin. Tucking in shirttails,wearing high boots everything with a good coverage of spray the night before and then around your waist of a tucked shirt and hitting boot collar again before hitting the field.

When we're going to be working in an area where ticks may be we do as above and also will wrap duct tape around the pant cuff over the boot so it makes a solid barrier preventing the little SOBs from, "coming up from the basement".

I saw a few adult Lone stars in KS last week. Buddy must have walked through a hatch/nest as he took about 60 nymph off and me and another buddy only took about 20 each of the nymph stage of a tick off

Last year I got Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever from a tick bite. Be careful out there!

I started using Sawyers spray (Permethrin) on my clothes several years ago. No more ticks or chiggers since. This stuff works great and Walmart had it on sale about 2 weeks ago for $2.50 a bottle so I bought 4 just to put on the shelf. One bottle usually lasts all season.

Permethrin is great stuff. Spray, dry and be without ticks.

Ticks are already bad this year in NY, it pays to be diligent and spray your clothes and check yourself often
