Theo Gallus Campfire Tracker Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 5,512 Likes: 2 40N, 82 1/2W	Originally Posted by Birdwatcher Back in the 70’s as a teenager I spent hours and hours in the woods I company with my dog when all we had for dogs was flea collars. The was in downstate NY, close to the epicenter of Lyme disease. There were ticks but I don’t recall them being a major problem, for me or the dog. Going on a half century later and there and over much of the eastern half of the US seems like ticks drive a lot of people out of the woods in the warm season. I dunno why they seem to have gotten so much worse. Deer populations are so much higher, hence more ticks. "Live like you'll die tomorrow, but manage your grass like you'll live forever." -S. M.

I have cut back my spring bear hunting because of them. One day I found a dozen crawling on me. They seem to be in cluster and when you get into they are all over you around here. Try permethrin, you can get it in aerosol, spray it on clothes let dry and it will last through several washes. It kills the little buggers Originally Posted by Judman PS, if you think Trump is “good” you’re way stupider than I thought! Haha Sorry, trump is a no tax payin pile of shiit.

I got a quart of concentrate from Rural King and it will mix up more than I will use in a lifetime. I think it was 20 bucks. Nice to have an unlimited supply.

When them bastards crawl right through it and make it to your hairline, it's experimentation time. The best killer is dropping them onto a glowing wood stove, followed by cutting them in half with a good sharp knife.

A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”

Personally, I take 100mg pf Doxycycline for a week before I leave on safari and continue the dose every day during the hunt and for a week afterwards. Check with your doc, but this works for me. It also serves as a prophylaxis against malaria

I like to do my hunting BEFORE I pull the trigger! There is only one kind of dead, but there are many different kinds of wounded.

DEET isn't a great repellent, but properly applied Permethrin works very well. Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

Controls the ants and don't have ticks either. They sell it here at Walmart. I am planning on putting it out tomorrow. I will put out another application mid summer.

Last for weeks with just one spray. Web
