Ticks

[FishermanTim]

Whenever we have a moderate/mild winter, the ticks end up having more animals to feed from, and thus reproduce more.
Add to this the increasing range of most "native" wildlife, and you end up with ticks getting a free ride onto your property (or closer to it).

I wonder if any deer hunters have noticed an increase in ticks on the deer they harvested?

When I was a kid, you NEVER saw a tick on a deer.

I've heard of them having 10's to 100's on them now a days.

after looking at that map
that not only do we have a total infestation
but it is of more paramount importance
than the custom of aerial spraying or fogging for skeetos.

whats the solution? a massive campainge of releasing
pheasants ,quail ,partridge, and Guinea fowl
or we have to use insecticides....

i can tell you which method officials would obviously take.
